Tungsten Carbide Corner Radius End Mill

1. Improved cutting performance: The rounded corner of the end mill reduces the stress concentration and decreases the likelihood of chipping or breaking. This results in a smoother cutting action and improved tool life compared to square end mills.
2. Enhanced surface finish: The rounded corner of the end mill helps to minimize tool marks and generate a better surface finish on the workpiece. This is particularly important when machining delicate or high-precision parts.
3. Contour milling capability: The corner radius design allows for efficient contouring or profiling operations. It can smoothly follow curved or irregular workpiece profiles, providing more versatility in machining complex shapes.
4. Increased strength and stability: Tungsten carbide corner radius end mills are typically designed with a broader base and stronger cutting edges, which enhances their strength and stability during cutting. This results in better accuracy and reduced deflection, particularly in heavy or aggressive milling applications.
5. Chip evacuation improvement: The rounded corner of the end mill aids in efficient chip evacuation, preventing chip packing and allowing for better coolant flow. This helps to maintain consistent cutting performance and reduces the risk of chip recutting or tool damage.
6. Multiple flute options: Tungsten carbide corner radius end mills are available in various flute options, such as 2, 3, or 4 flutes. The choice of the number of flutes depends on the specific application, material, and desired cutting parameters.
7. Coating options: Tungsten carbide corner radius end mills can be coated with different coatings, including TiAlN, TiCN, or AlTiN, to further enhance their performance. Coatings improve tool life, reduce friction, and provide heat resistance, depending on the specific coating applied.
