In the modern metalworking industry, tungsten carbide has become the most commonly used cutting material. Today, the majority of carbide tools, whether solid or featuring indexable inserts, use coated tungsten carbide as the primary material for cutting edges. In such circumstances, the metalworking industry places greater emphasis on the affordability of cutting tools and seeks ways to enhance their value for money. As a well-established “classic” strategy for maximising the utilisation of cutting material, tool design engineers adopt this approach whenever possible. The new endmill designs are available in diameters ranging from 16 to 32 mm (0.625–1.25”), making them strong, cost-effective competitors to solid carbide tools.
