Small Feature Machining

The micro end mill design is suitable for machining small features, narrow areas and precision components where conventional end mills may be too large.

Why Choose the UF(600) Micro End Mill?

Micro-Diameter Carbide Design

The 2 flute micro configuration is designed for precision machining where small cutting diameters and controlled cutting conditions are required.

0.6μm Fine-Grain Carbide

The fine-grain carbide substrate provides a combination of hardness, wear resistance and cutting stability for demanding micro machining applications.

AlCrN PVD Coating

The high-performance AlCrN coating provides strong resistance to high-temperature oxidation and supports stable cutting performance under elevated thermal loads.

Strong Anti-Adhesion Performance

When machining stainless steel, material adhesion and built-up edge can affect tool life and surface quality. The UF(600) coating is designed to help reduce these problems.

Available Tool Sizes

The available diameter, flute length, shank diameter and overall length should be selected according to the machining feature and required tool reach.

Micro End Mill Selection Guide

Choosing a micro end mill requires more than selecting the smallest available diameter.

Choose by Workpiece Material

Select the UF(600) when machining stainless steel, titanium alloys, hardened steel or other difficult-to-machine materials.

Choose by Feature Size

Select the smallest practical tool diameter that provides adequate rigidity for the feature being machined.

Consider Tool Reach

Longer tool overhang can increase deflection and vibration, especially with micro-diameter tools. Use the shortest practical tool configuration for the application.

Consider Cutting Conditions

Micro tools require carefully controlled spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut and tool overhang.

Recommended Cutting Conditions

Micro end mills are sensitive to tool overhang, machine rigidity, spindle accuracy and cutting conditions.

Recommended parameters should be selected according to:

  • Tool diameter
  • Workpiece material
  • Material hardness
  • Spindle speed
  • Feed per tooth
  • Axial depth of cut
  • Radial width of cut
  • Tool overhang
  • Cooling method
