Stainless steel end mills are a type of specialized cutting tools created specifically for milling stainless steel materials. These end mills are part of the broader category of end mills, but they are uniquely designed and composed to effectively tackle the distinct challenges associated with machining stainless steel. This optimization in design and material composition aims to improve cutting performance, extend tool life, and enhance the surface finish of the workpiece.
Unlike typical end mills, stainless steel end mills are engineered with features tailored to the properties of stainless steel, such as its hardness and tendency to work-harden. By incorporating specific design modifications and utilizing suitable materials, these end mills are able to achieve superior results when cutting stainless steel, making them essential tools for precision machining in industries that work extensively with stainless steel.
Micro-grain carbide: Offers high wear resistance and strength, suitable for high-speed cutting.
Advanced coatings:
These coatings improve heat resistance and reduce material adhesion to the tool.
Sharp cutting edges: Minimize cutting resistance and reduce work hardening.
Thick core design: Enhances tool rigidity to withstand heavy-duty operations.
Variable pitch and helix angle: Reduce vibration and improve surface finish.
2 or 3 flutes: Ideal for roughing due to larger chip evacuation space.
4 or more flutes: Used for finishing, offering better surface quality.
