Why buy General Purpose Milling Cutters?

Our range of General Purpose Milling Cutters are ideal for anyone on a budget or who lacks the machining set up to cater for high performance milling cutters. The benefit of a general purpose milling cutter is obviously the lower cost, but also the fact they can cut a wider range of materials, whereas higher performance tools are more material specific.


How to choose between Carbide or HSS milling cutters?

We advise people every day on the choosing the right milling cutter so we commonly get asked on whether a HSS or a Carbide tool is better for their application. There is no correct answer because it all comes down to machine capability, material, budget amongst other factors. As a general rule of thumb if you have stable machining conditions along with CNC capabilities then Carbide would be the 1st choice. However HSS should be considered where additional toughness is required for unstable or manual machining, or where cost is a factor. Our Powder Metal range of milling cutters bring the best of both worlds, with similar performance to carbide but with the toughness of HSS.
