2 Flute End Mill
• More room for chip evacuation
• Used for light metals
• Weak, short tool life

Milling Tools
Cutting Tool Material Video
• Cutting Speed – The rate of a tool measured in surface feet per minute
• Spindle Speed – The number of revolutions per minute (rpm) that is made by the cutting tool of a machine
• Feed – The distance advanced by the cutting tool along the length of the work for every revolution of the spindle
Definitions
• Defined in revolutions per minute (rpm)• Found by dividing the cutting speed by the
circumference of the tool
N =CS
CC = circumference
CS = Cutting speed (surface ft / min)N = Spindle speed (rpm)
d = Diameter (in.) / rev
Spindle Feeds Formula

Calculate the plunge feed rate for plunging copper with a 4 flute, ¼ inch HSS end mill.
Other special operations require slower speeds:
Reaming – ½ to ⅔ of that used for drilling the material
Counterboring – ¼ of that used for drilling the material
Countersinking – ¼ of that used for drilling the material
Tapping (threading) – Determined by many factors (usually range from 50 to 300 rpm)
