1. When milling flat surfaces, non regrinding hard alloy end mills or end mills should be selected. In general milling, it is advisable to use secondary cutting, and the first cutting is best to use an end mill for rough milling, with continuous cutting along the surface of the workpiece. The recommended cutting width for each pass is 60% -75% of the tool diameter.

2. End mills and end mills with carbide inserts are mainly used for machining protrusions, grooves, and box surfaces.

3. Ball cutters and round cutters (also known as round nose cutters) are commonly used for machining curved surfaces and variable angle contour shapes. And ball cutters are mostly used for semi precision machining and precision machining. Round cutters with hard alloy inserts are often used for rough cutting.
