The normal uses for a Variable End Mill include profiling, contouring and slotting. But there’s more to itthan meets the eye. Let’s take a closer look and see why Online Carbide makes the best Mill on the market.
Variable End Mills come in three types - Square Profile, Corner Radius, and Ball Profile. Square Profile has sharp, 90° edges that leave a flat surface. Corner Radius End Mills have a radius form that breaks up a sharp corner on a workpiece and leaves a smooth curve. Ball Profile tools have a round end and can work well on inside curves and corners.
The irregular helix on the Variable End Mill cutting edges is important and llows the tool to perform roughing, slotting, and finishing with excellent results. The “Variable” part speaks to the irregular helix and flute spacing of the cutting edge which prevents the tool from chattering while in use at high speeds ausing poor cutting performance.
Online Carbide manufactures their end millsto work at high speeds with the least amount of both deflection and cutting edge wear using premium carbide material, Online Carbide insures its customers that the tools they purchase will last longer and perform better than many other competitive tools available online. Because their products are all “Made in the USA”, the engineers at Online Carbide know their tools are being held to a higher standard by consumers.
There are other advantages to purchasing machine tools from Online Carbide. Some companies buy offshore products and re-package them to look like they are made in America. The American-sounding name and packaging can fool some people, but smart buyers know the place to purchase their machine tools is Online Carbide. For a quarter of a century the people at Online Carbide have been manufacturing and selling machine tools all over North America and the response has been amazing.
Online Carbide is proud to offer their Variable End Mill products with a 4-Flute Variable Helix and Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating in sizes from 1/8th inch to 3/4 inch in 1/16th increments.
