  • Corner rounding end mills are designed to take the edge off sharp external corners
  • Four straight flutes produce a fine finish
  • Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN) coating lubricates the end mill for high-temperature stability and offers better abrasion resistance than TiN coating
  • High-speed steel is compatible with a variety of materials
  • The non-center-cutting design is for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing

The Niagara Cutter CRM125 TiCN-coated high-speed steel corner rounding end mill has four straight flutes, a metric radius, and a non-center-cutting design for creating rounded exterior corners on a wide range of materials. Corner rounding end mills have a concave, curved indent on the cutting end to create a more rounded or less rounded corner, depending on the radius selected. Four straight flutes produce a fine finish.

The TiCN coating lubricates the end mill for high-temperature stability, and offers increased hardness and greater abrasion resistance than uncoated or TiN-coated tools. High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. The non-center-cutting design is for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.002” to -0.000”. Radius tolerance is +0.001” to -0.001”. The tool has a Weldon shank.

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. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tool’s cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Non-center-cutting end mills are for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge cuts.

Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the company is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. This allows the company control over production, from substrate to coating, which is essential for customers in a variety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.

  • Ball nose end mills (also called ball end) create contoured surfaces­­­

The Niagara Cutter SB335 TiN-coated carbide ball nose end mill has a 35-degree helix angle and three flutes for use on stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys. The 35-degree helix angle provides more support behind the cutting edge than higher angles, and increases cutting action and chip evacuation compared to the standard 30-degree helix. It efficiently cuts difficult-to-machine material, moving it up the spiral and away from the workpiece. The end mill’s three flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity than four flutes and a finer finish than two. They remove excess material from the cutting area and provide a third cutting edge to create an improved finish that may eliminate the need for a second finishing cut in some applications. The TiN coating combines stability at high temperatures with hardness for wear protection, increasing tool life and performance compared to uncoated end mills. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life.

The tool’s center-cutting design allows the tool to plunge into the workpiece like a drill bit, while its ball end creates contoured surfaces where sharp edges are not required. It is best suited for slotting applications. The tool has an eccentric primary relief feature that provides better support behind the cutting edge than a flat relief, reducing tooth breakage in deep cuts. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000” to -0.002”. The tool’s round shank accommodates a range of tool holders.

The AlTiN coating resists heat better than TiN, TiAlN, and TiCN coatings, increasing tool life and performance. It also offers increased hardness compared to TiN and may reduce the need for lubricants based on the application. The two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes while offering additional support when the tool goes deep into the material in applications with a high depth of cut. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. The tool’s ball nose creates contoured surfaces, where sharp corners are not required. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed into the workpiece like a drill bit. On smaller flute diameters up to 3/16” the larger shank is blended to the smaller cutting edge with a 7-degree draft angle to minimize interference between the shank and the workpiece, allowing the tool to go further into recessed areas of the workpiece. The cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000” to -0.001”. The round shank accommodates a range of tool holders.

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. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tool’s cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Non-center-cutting end mills are for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge cuts.

Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the company is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. This allows the company control over production, from substrate to coating, which is essential for customers in a variety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.
