ROTARY CUTTING APPARATUS

摘要

An end mill (10) has a cylindrical shank (12) with a longitudinal axis (22). Attached to the cylindrical shank (12) is a center flute (14) having a cutting edge (18) extending beyond the longitudinal axis (22). A non-center flute (16) is also attached to the cylindrical shank (12). The center flute (14) has a first rake angle (32) and the non-center flute (16) has a second rake angle (32) not equal to the first axial rake.
