Niagara Cutter DBS217 High-Speed Steel End Mill, Stub Length, TiCN Coated, 2 Flutes, Double Ball End, 3/16" Cutting Length, 1/8" Cutting Diameter Reviews
The Niagara Cutter DBS217 TiCN-coated high-speed steel double-end ball nose end mill with stub length has two flutes, a 3/16” shank, and a 35-degree helix for creating precise cuts in a wide range of materials. The smaller tool size allows for better control over the size of the cut than with larger tools when creating details and contours. The double-end design has cutting edges at both ends of the shank that can be swapped out when one side begins to show signs of wear, doubling the tool life compared to single-end tools. Two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes, enhancing the tool’s ability to remove material. The stub length increases tool strength and makes it less likely to break in the material being machined. It is best used when depth of cut is shallow. 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 TiCN coating 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 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. 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.

Niagara Cutter SR420 Carbide End Mill, for Steel & Stainless Steel Roughing, TiAlN Coated, 4 Flutes, 0.020" Chamfer End, 1/2" Cutting Length, 3/8" Cutting Diameter Reviews
Magnate EM1143 End Mills, 2-Flute MicroGrain Solid Carbide - 7/16" Mill Diameter Reviews
Niagara Cutter CNC430 Carbide End Mill, NC Tolerance, Uncoated (Bright), 4 Flutes, Square End, 1/2" Cutting Length, 1/8" Cutting Diameter Reviews
The Niagara Cutter CNC430 NC-style uncoated carbide square nose end mill has four flutes and a plus-tolerance cutting diameter to match those of high-speed steel end mills, allowing an upgrade from high-speed steel to carbide and making the tool useful for milling keyways. Four flutes produce a better finish than fewer flutes. The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications. It balances lower angles’ strong cutting edge for difficult-to-machine materials with higher angles’ increased cutting action.
The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials. The tool’s square end creates sharp, unrounded cuts. 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. NC-style tools can be used on both the older Numerical Control (NC) machines, which are programmed using physical media such as magnetic tape, and the newer CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, which are programmed using computers. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.001" to -0.000". The tool has a Weldon shank on shank diameters larger than 3/8”.

Niagara Cutter SC406 High-Speed Steel End Mill, General Purpose, TiCN Coated, 4 Flutes, Square End, 5/8" Cutting Length, 1/4" Cutting Diameter Reviews
The Niagara Cutter SC406 TiCN-coated high-speed steel square end mill has a 30-degree helix angle for general-purpose machining on a range of materials. The number of flutes varies; fewer flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity, while more flutes produce a finer 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 tool’s square end creates sharp, unrounded cuts.
