A square end mill, also known as a flat end mill, is a type of cutting tool used in milling operations. It has a flat bottom and straight cutting edges, making it ideal for machining flat surfaces, square corners, and shoulders. Square end mills are commonly used in a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and wood.
Key Features:
Flat Bottom: This allows for the creation of flat surfaces and square corners.
Straight Cutting Edges: These edges enable the mill to cut cleanly and efficiently through the material.
Various Sizes and Coatings: Square end mills come in different diameters, lengths, and with various coatings to enhance performance and tool life, such as TiN (Titanium Nitride) or TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride).
Applications:
Face Milling: Creating a flat surface on the workpiece.
Slot Milling: Cutting slots into the material.
Side Milling: Machining the sides of a workpiece.
Contour Milling: Machining complex shapes with flat surfaces and sharp corners.
Material Considerations:
High-Speed Steel (HSS): Good for general-purpose milling.
Carbide: Offers higher cutting speeds and longer tool life, suitable for harder materials.
Cobalt: Provides better wear resistance and toughness than HSS.
