| Uncoated (bright) finish tools have no additional surface treatment or coating, offering just the base (substrate) material for an economical alternative |
| Shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine |
| Carbide can run at higher speeds than high speed steel (HSS), resisting abrasion and high cutting temperatures |
| Four flutes produce a better finish than fewer flutes |
| 3 axial directions |
| End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles |
| They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter |
| For use with aluminum/aluminum alloys, cast iron, steel/steel alloys |
| Cutting diameter tolerance is + 0.000 to - 0.002 in |
