End mills are extensively used milling cutters in mechanical
machining. They are primarily employed on milling machines for
processing planes, steps, grooves, contoured surfaces, and cutting
off workpieces. They are particularly adept at milling workpiece side surfaces
and steps.
The core difference between an end mill and a drill bit:
Drill bits can primarily only perform axial drilling motions, while
end mills can cut in both the lateral (radial) and axial
directions, thus enabling them to perform various complex
operations such as face milling, pocket milling, contour milling,
grooving, and engraving.
Main Application Industries of End Mills:
Mold and Die Industry
This is one of the most extensive and demanding fields for end mill
applications.
Injection Molds: Processing cavities, runners, sliders, etc.
Die-Casting Molds: Manufacturing molds for engine blocks, transmission housings, and
other components.
Stamping Dies: Processing punches, dies, etc.
Requires extensive use of ball nose end mills for 3D surface finishing, with extremely high requirements for surface smoothness.
Aerospace Industry
This industry extensively uses high-strength materials, composites, and high-temperature alloys, demanding extremely high performance and stability from end
mills.
Component Processing: Machining engine blades, blisks, wing skeletons, landing gear
structural parts, etc.
