What is a roughing end mill for?

It removes material fast in heavy cuts before a finishing pass. The serrated 3-flute edge breaks chips into small pieces, which cuts vibration and lets you push deeper. Use it to hog out stock, then switch to a finishing mill for the final surface.

What materials can this end mill cut?

The solid carbide cuts steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and plastics, plus MDF, acrylic, and wood. It runs on CNC milling machines. Carbide stays hard at speed, so it holds up in tougher metals better than HSS.

How fast can I run it?

The tech notes suggest cutting speeds around 200-300 m/min in aluminum and 80-150 m/min in steel. It's uncoated, so flood or mist coolant helps tool life in metal. Always match feeds and speeds to your machine and the exact cutter diameter.
