MZG Rough Milling Cutter System
Rough Milling Cutter (also known as Roughing End Mill) is a type of milling cutter designed for high-efficiency material removal with large allowances. They are primarily used for preliminary cutting in machining processes to quickly remove the majority of material, preparing the workpiece for subsequent finishing operations. The cutting edges of rough milling cutters often feature special designs to facilitate chip breaking and evacuation.

Maximum Material Removal
Chipbreaker geometry and coarse pitch design enable aggressive material removal rates while maintaining tool stability and reducing cutting forces.
Superior Chip Management
Serrated cutting edges and chipbreaker grooves break chips into manageable segments, preventing chip clogging and enabling efficient evacuation.
Enhanced Tool Life
Premium tungsten carbide construction with advanced coatings provides exceptional wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding applications.
System Performance Analysis
Rough milling cutters are categorized based on their material, number of edges, and coating status. These tools are specifically designed for high-efficiency material removal with large allowances and are primarily used for preliminary cutting in machining processes to quickly remove the majority of material, preparing the workpiece for subsequent finishing operations.
The 3 Edge Tungsten Steel Uncoated Rough Machining End Milling Cutter is made of tungsten steel and features 3 cutting edges without any coating. It is designed for milling steel and nonferrous metal materials, such as copper and aluminum. The uncoated design is typically suitable for these materials to avoid coating reactions with aluminum or affecting surface finish.
Our High Speed Steel (HSS) milling cutters provide good toughness, making them perform well in machining softer materials or in applications requiring higher impact resistance. The 4 Edge Tungsten Steel Coated versions feature nano coating that significantly enhances the tool's hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance, allowing them to handle harder and more abrasive materials effectively.
The cutting edge geometry is specifically designed to facilitate large allowance cutting to quickly remove excess material from workpieces at the initial stage of machining, setting the foundation for subsequent finishing operations with efficient rough machining of steel, copper, and aluminum parts.
