Rougher End Mills

Rougher End Mills, also known as hogging end mills, are specialized cutting tools designed for rapid material removal in heavy machining operations. Unlike standard end mills, they feature serrated or wavy cutting edges that break chips into smaller pieces, reducing cutting forces and heat generation. This design allows for higher feed rates and deeper cuts while maintaining tool stability. Rougher End Mills are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, mold & die, and general engineering applications where fast stock removal is essential.

Key Features

  • High Material Removal Rate – Serrated cutting edges enable aggressive cutting and faster machining.

  • Reduced Cutting Forces – Chip-breaking action minimizes load on the tool and machine spindle.

  • Heat Control – Smaller chips improve cooling and reduce thermal stress on the tool.

  • Durable Construction – Manufactured from solid carbide or HSS with advanced coatings for long tool life.

  • Surface Finish – Leaves a slightly rougher finish, ideal for pre-finishing stages.

  • Advanced Coatings – TiAlN, TiCN, or DLC coatings for better wear resistance and higher cutting speeds.

  • Versatile Applications – Suitable for steels, stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, and super alloys.

  • CNC & Conventional Machines – Effective in both modern high-speed CNC machining centers and traditional milling machines.
