5.Should I use a Coated Tool
Why we should answer above questions to choose end mills ?
Knowing the material you are working with and its properties will help narrow down your end mill selection considerably. Each material has a distinct set of mechanical properties that give it unique characteristics when machining
An application can require one or many operations.
One of the most significant considerations during end mill selection is determining proper flute count. Both the material and application play an important role in this decision.
After specifying the material you are working in, the operation(s) that are going to be performed, and the number of flutes required, the next step is making sure that your end mill selection has the correct dimensions for the job. Examples of key considerations include cutter diameter, length of cut, reach, and profile.
