Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why use a 2-flute over a 4-flute end mill? A: Two-flute end mills have more space between the cutting edges, which allows stringy chips from soft materials like aluminum to escape easily without clogging the tool.
Q: How do I secure this in my mill? A: You must clamp on the 1/4-inch shank using an appropriately sized collet in your milling machine’s spindle.
