Endmills
End Mills are used for making shapes and holes in a workpiece during milling, profiling, contouring, slotting, counterboring, drilling and reaming applications. They are designed with cutting teeth on the face and edge of the body and can be used to cut a variety of materials in several directions. Find out more on the types of mills MSC offers and all the applications in which they can be used.
- For fast cuts and the greatest rigidity, use shorter end mills with larger diameters
- Variable helix end mills reduce chatter and vibration
- Use cobalt, PM/Plus and carbide on harder materials and high production applications
- Apply coatings for higher feeds, speeds and tool life
Ballnose
The Micro Carbide Ball End Mills supplied by Industrial Tools And Gauges are often used to process round parts, such as metal bearing grooves on machines. Ball End Mills, also known as Micro Carbide Ball End Mills, are widely used in manufacturing tools and moulds, and machining complex 3D profiles with smooth finish. The ballnose endmills are very durable and feature a range of surface coatings tailored for milling materials ranging from plastics to titanium and steel alloys.
Choose from a variety of styles including: Solid Carbide Regular Ball Nose, high performance, for aluminium/non-ferrous alloys, corner radius, chamfering, high feed, taper, longneck for dies and moulds, 120° Full Ball Endmills, Conical & Tangential Ball Endmills etc. Our ball nose end mills are ground to a full radius equal to half the diameter of the tool and cut with the edge centered.
Corner Radius
We all want optimum tool life when it comes to machining both common and exotic materials. Choosing an end mill with a chamfer or radius will reduce the wear on the corner of the tool to increase the life of the tool.
A chamfer will create a cutting action that assists in breaking chips in most materials. This contributes to smother cuts, allowing for heavier feed rates and more efficient production.
Drills, Reamers
A versatile lineup of unique cutting tools for use with and without a pre-existing hole in situations where surface finish and hole tolerance are of the utmost importance. Drill reamers that separate themselves from the competition using geometries with three distinct margins. Additional contact points between the tool and hole optimize surface finish and allow achievable hole tolerances ranging from H7 to H9.
