Make fast cuts without manual effort. Unlike Electric Steel Drum Head Cutters, this is for use in areas where work surfaces are wet. Nonmarring rollers guide the cutter around the head leaving a clean edge and lip for use with steel drum covers. This cutter is for continuous use. It's also known as a drum deheader.

This cutter uses ratchet action to provide more force with less effort. Also known as a drum deheader, it leaves a clean edge and lip for use with steel drum covers. Clamp the cutter onto your drum lip, then move the handle up and down to cut.

A titanium-diboride (TiB2) coating reduces friction when working with nonferrous metals, so you can use these end mills to cut soft metals like aluminum, brass, and bronze. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life. Also known as barrel cutters, these end mills create the smooth finish of a ball end mill, but with a tapered cutting surface that removes more material with each pass. They're ideal for 5-axis machining where you need to cut from many angles. Plus, compared to ball end mills, they move farther between overlapping passes (stepover), which decreases machining time and tool wear, so they’ll last longer. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking.

End mills with three flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts; end mills with four flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.
