What Are Endmills Made Of—High Speed Steel (HSS) ？

Endmills are one of the most popular cutting tools in many modern manufacturing industries, and High Speed Steel (HSS) is the most widely used endmill type. The endmills are manufactured with high-speed steel alloys that allow them to keep their high hardness, even while cutting at high speeds or when working with hard materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum.

These are especially useful for the increasing demand of precision machining and tight-tolerance finishing such as and. They are a vital necessity in industrial production for their cleanliness cuts, quality materials, long-lasting materials, and superior endurance and lasting power.
