Serrations along the cutting edge act as chip breakers, so these end mills can remove large amounts of material at high speeds without sacrificing tool life. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, also allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts. 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. With a high helix angle and wear-resistant titanium-aluminum-nitride (TiAlN) coating, these end mills provide excellent shearing and chip removal in stainless steel and titanium. They have a square end for milling square-bottomed slots, pockets, and edges. 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.
