A 45° corner chamfer improves cutting edge strength, so these end mills last longer than standard square end mills when milling hard material; however they do not create as sharp of a corner. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing them to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life.

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. A titanium-aluminum-nitride (TiAlN) coating make these end mills good for high-temperature applications. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
