End Mill Sizes
Many people have asked that we create a chart showing all of the end mill diameters. So we have done that, and want to make all of our customers aware. You can find this in the tab called "Technical Info" and the link "End Mill Sizes". As you view the chart you will notice some sizes are linked also. This will take you to a page where all of that diameter's end mills are listed. From there you can easily filter and find exactly what you are looking for. We will update this chart regularly as we add the most popular diameters searched. The chart is also linked as a PDF document so you can download it and print it.
End Mill Size Chart - Inch, Metric, Micro
October 8th, 2018 at 2:37 pm 4038 Views
We have just finished adding the entire catalog of TITAN's general purpose, single end, solid carbide ball nose end mills. The end of this tool is ground with a full radius equal to half of the tool diameter, and the edges are center cutting. They can be used used for milling a large corner radius, grooving with a full radius, and contour or profile milling. The smaller diameters can be used for engraving. They come with two flutes or four flutes. They are available in diameter sizes from 1/64" to 1". They come in a variety of length configurations from stub to extra long. And they come as uncoated carbide, or PVD coated AlTiN, or TiCN.
Just click on the Series links below and it will take you to the catalog pages.

We want to welcome TITAN Carbide Cutting Tools to our lineup of high quality, made in the USA milling cutters, chamfer tools, and burrs. TITAN is in West Springfield MA and has an enormous inventory of their catalog items. All TITAN products are 100% made in the USA. They focus on customer service by having adequate stock and easy US shipping via UPS.
One of the reasons we are adding TITAN is their commitment to quick delivery. They will ship anywhere in the contiguous 48 states within 2 days at ground prices. So, there is no reason to choose anything but ground shipments if you can live with two day deliveries.
Titan has an awesome line of standard end mills, high performance variable flute mills, thread mills, chamfer and drill mills, and burrs. They also are a leader in coating technologies and have an in-house state of the art coating facility.
We look forward to working with TITAN, and we believe you will look forward to buying TITAN products. With this announcement, some of the HTC products will be obsoleted from the website. If you have any problems locating the TITAN equivalent products, just give us a call. We will keep you informed as we make these changes.
Carbide Endmill Feeds and Speeds

Carbide End Mill Speeds and Feeds
The most important aspect of carbide tooling is to run the tool at the proper speeds and feeds. We have broken these recommendations down into categories so you can make better decisions with how to run your end mills. Certain high performance end mills have very specificc running parameters relative to their material families. We have listed these also as individual recommendations. These documents are downloadable pdf formats.
When choosing the right parameters to run, most people focus on the speed which relates to the machine RPM. This is a mistake! Focus on on the proper feed per tooth (FPT), and then adjust the speed. Often when a part is programmed, and is being proven out for production, the programmer will choose conservative parameters and encounter chatter. Chatter is nothing more that part vibration (noise), because the tool is not cutting properly. Usually, the first response is to slow the RPM and the chatter will go away. This often works, but this is unproductive. What has just happened is that by reducing the speed and keeping the feed constant, the FPT has increased. And most likely the FPT before was too low in the first place and that was what caused the chatter.
Choose the material to be machined from the left side of the chart.
Choose the correct FPT for that material based on the diameter of your mill. FPT is in inches per tooth (IPT) or millimeters per tooth (MMPT).
Choose the proper chip load factor (CLF) based on the radial depth of cut.
Now choose the right surface feet per minute (SFM) or surface meters per minute (SMM)
Use the SFM and the diameter of the mill to calculate the RPM of your machine.
Use the RPM, IPT, CLF and the number of flutes to calculate the feed rate or IPM.
If you want to be conservative, choose a slightly lower SFM, but always choose the recommended FPT.
If you follow these guidelines, you will have a much greater success rate in part programming, and you will be more productive

High Performance - Variable Pitch
35° Helix - Solid Carbide End Mills
Inch Sizes - 1/8" - 1"
These mills feature the latest technologies in end mill design. First the flutes are spaced unequally, which is called "variable pitch". This feature reduces the harmonic vibration caused during the cutting operations. That means the end mill can be run at larger depths of cut (radial and axial), higher feed rates, and higher speeds than normal general purpose end mills. Second, the outside diameter is ground eccentrically. This adds strength to the cutting edge giving longer tool life at those increased machining parameters. Third, these end mills have a coolant groove ground along the outside diameter which keeps the cutting edges cooler. Fourth, these end mills come standard with a corner radius to strengthen the corner at the higher machining parameters. And finally, these end mills are coated with the latest technology of AlTiN coatings which can be used wet or dry.
These end mills can be used in steels, stainless steels, cast irons, and other high temperature alloys. Often the metal removal rates are doubled as compared to general purpose end mills. Give them a try today!
