Replaceable Carbide-Insert Face Milling Cutters
Combine a cutter with carbide inserts (sold separately) to create a face milling cutter, also known as indexable face milling cutters. They remove metal at least two times faster than comparable high-speed steel face milling cutters. When the cutting edges dull replace the carbide inserts instead of the entire tool. Use with an R8 shank arbor (sold separately).
Titanium-diboride (TiB2) coated inserts reduce friction in nonferrous metals and composites, so you can use them without lubrication in material like aluminum, fiberglass, and plastic. Titanium-carbonitride (TiCN) coated inserts have a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping and wear and prevents material from accumulating on the cutting edge. They’re especially good for use in aluminum. Titanium-aluminum-nitride (TiAlN) coated inserts dissipate heat better than other inserts, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the inserts cool, even when used without lubrication.
Use octagon inserts for general face milling. With eight cutting edges, they generate smooth cuts. Use round inserts for roughing and heavy cuts. Their shape makes them stronger than octagon and square inserts. Use square inserts to create a 90° corner when shoulder milling.

Face Milling Cutters
Also known as shell cutters, these high-speed steel cutters are good for face and side milling. They have a large mill diameter for removing a large amount of material per pass. Compared to fly cutters, they’re more rigid, which makes for a better finish. Use with an R8 shank arbor (sold separately).

Fly Cutters
Shave shallow layers of material off your workpiece to create a smooth even finish. These fly cutters hold a lathe tool (sold separately) and run on your milling machine. Compared to end mills, these make a wider cut per pass. They also generate less heat, so you can run them at higher speeds. In the long run, these cutters will save you the cost of replacing entire end mills once they dull—you can either sharpen your worn lathe tool or just replace that one part.

Fly Cutter Sets
Keep a variety of fly cutters on hand to tackle different sized workpieces. The fly cutters in these sets hold a lathe tool (sold separately) to shave a layer off your workpiece with each pass, creating a smooth, even finish. Use them with milling machines. Compared to end mills, these make a wider cut per pass. They also generate less heat, so you can run them at higher speeds. In the long run, these cutters will save you the expense of replacing entire end mills once they dull—you can either sharpen your worn lathe tool or just replace that one part.

Replaceable Carbide-Insert Fly Cutters
These tools create a wide, shallow cut on the face of the workpiece. They're often used to level spoilboard so it lies perfectly flat for accurate routing and milling. When the cutting edges dull, replace the carbide inserts rather than replacing the entire tool.
