Micro Machining End Mills for a Variety of Industries
These end mills have small diameters and are made from durable solid carbide, making them highly resistant to wear and heat while providing more hardness compared to
vanadium,
cobalt, and
powdered metal alternatives. For this reason, micro carbide end mills are used to create precision components for a number of
industries, including:
- Aerospace
- Medical
- Electronics
- Dental
- Consumer goods
- And more
Selecting the Right Micro End Mills for Your Precision Machining Application
There are several considerations to keep in mind when selecting the right micro diameter end mills for your precision machining application. Pacific Industrial Supply is here to help you find the exact tools you require. Refer to the information below or contact us to
speak to an expert.
Cutting Profile
The type of profile you choose will depend on the type of operation you’re performing. While each style can have multiple applications, some are better suited to certain tasks than others. For example,
mini ball end mills are common for contouring or finishing,
mini square end mills for slotting and profiling,
mini tapered end mills for deep milling and mold making, and
mini corner radius end mills for applications requiring a specific radius.
Length of Cut
A cut length that is too long reduces the rigidity and strength of the cutting tool, so it’s important to ensure the cut length you choose is only as long as absolutely necessary. We offer cut lengths ranging from as short as 0.0010” to as long as 3.0000”.
Flute Count
Flute count has a major impact on the tool’s performance and running parameters. As a general rule, lower flute counts typically have better chip removal while larger flute counts provide a finer finish and longer tool life. Our mini carbide end mills are available with 2, 3, or 4 flutes.
Tool Holder
The tool holder you choose should have enough points of contact with the tool’s shank to prevent irreversible damage to the tool and/or workpiece. We offer an extensive selection of tool holders for a range of micromachining applications. Our experts can help you find the tool holder best suited to your needs.
