End mills
End mills are specialized cutting tools used in machining to shape or remove material from a workpiece, typically made of high-speed steel or carbide. They have sharp cutting edges on the sides and at the end, allowing them to create precise holes, slots, or complex contours in metals, plastics, or wood. Rotated at high speeds, end mills carve by grinding away material, making them essential in manufacturing processes like milling. Their design allows for multiple cutting directions, enabling detailed and accurate shapes in a variety of materials.
