Roughing End Mills



Roughing End Mills, also known as ripping cutters or hoggers, are designed to remove large amounts of metal quickly and more efficiently than standard end mills. Coarse tooth roughing end mills remove large chips for heavy cuts, deep slotting and rapid stock removal on low to medium carbon steel and alloy steel prior to a finishing application. Fine tooth roughing end mills remove less material but the pressure is distributed over many more teeth, for longer tool life and a smoother finish on high temperature alloys and stainless steel.

Types of Roughing End Mills

Super (M2-AL) Roughing End Mills

Super (M2-AL) High Speed Steel Roughing End Mills are designed for roughing or hogging large amounts of metal prior to a finish mill operation. M2-Al High Speed Steel is a premium alloy formed by adding aluminum to the base chemical composition of M2 HSS to extend tool life and to dissipate heat. It is often referred to as "Super Steel."

Cobalt (M42) Roughing End Mills

Cobalt Roughing End Mills are designed for roughing or hogging large amounts of metal prior to a finish milling operation. They are used for deep slotting or heavy side cuts and require less power than conventional end mills. Ideal for machining high alloyed steels, titanium alloys, and cast alloys. Form-relieved edges stay constant and can be resharpened by grinding the faces. Roughing End Mills are also known as Hogging End Mills.

Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills - Type "A"

Type "A" Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills are designed with a special tool geometry for maximum stock removal when milling aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. Corner radius design eliminates corner chipping.

Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills - Type "N"

Type "N" Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills are designed with a special tool geometry for maximum stock removal when milling Titanium, Inconl, Rene, Waspaloy, and high temperature nickel base alloys.  Corner radius design eliminates corner chipping.

Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills - Type "S"

Type "S" Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills are designed with a special tool geometry for maximum stock removal when milling mild steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, and cast iron.  Corner radius design eliminates corner chipping.
