Product Performance
Small Diameter Milling Cutters are a specialized category of milling cutters designed for precision machining, including the fabrication of micro-components or highly detailed features. They are also sometimes referred to as "Decimal Point End Mills" when their cutting diameter is less than 1mm. These tools are primarily made of tungsten steel, a material known for its high hardness and wear resistance.
Tungsten Steel Small Diameter Flat End Milling Cutters are precision-engineered cutting tools, indispensable for machining intricate details, micro-features, and small-scale components with utmost accuracy. Manufactured from high-quality micro-grain or ultra-fine grain solid tungsten carbide, these end mills exhibit exceptional hardness and superior wear resistance.
The performance of these small diameter cutters is defined by their capacity to achieve exceptionally high precision, create features with high aspect ratios, and produce excellent surface finishes on micro-parts. Due to their small physical size, achieving optimal cutting speeds necessitates operation at very high rotational speeds (RPMs), often in High-Speed Cutting (HSC) applications.
