End mills are one of the most common tools used in machining, and knowing how they cut is the best way to make sure you're getting the most of your tooling. These are the basic elements of how an end mill actually cuts your stock and makes machining possible. Understanding the process of cutting with an end mill can help you make better feeds and speeds choices, as we well as a myriad of other machining decisions. There's a lot of science and math behind cutting with end mills. The different types of cutters can have all different sizes, coatings, flutes, and so on. But we will be talking about a square nose end mill. Each flute of the end mill is like a knife that shaves off parts of your material. Setting your feeds and speeds can be a lot more important than you think. Having too slow of a feed or the wrong cutter can cause bad surface finishes, and more wear on your tools. There's lots of practice and learning that goes into the speeds and feeds with your end mills, and sometimes the fastest way to learn is to jump in and use them! Interested in a Tormach machine?
