How OSG End Mills are Made

11/23/2016

An end mill is a type of milling cutter. It is distinguished from the drill in its application, geometry, and manufacture.

While a drill bit can only cut in the axial direction, an end mill can generally cut in all directions, though they don't perform as well as a drill in drilling applications.

End mills are used in milling applications such as profile milling, tracer milling, face milling, and plunging.

Below is a great video of how OSG makes end mills. It takes you through the process from design to the grinding operations and through inspection. Check it out!

...and below is the segment from "How It's Made" that covers the more general principles of making a HSS end mill.

You can see that OSG has a very advanced process for making their carbide end mills.
