Indexable side and face Milling Cutter

Milling cutters are cutting tools used in milling machines or machining centres. They remove material by their movement within the machine (i.e. a ball nose mill) or directly from the cutters shape (a form tool such as a Hobbing cutter).

A face mill consists of a cutter body (with the appropriate machine taper) that is designed to hold multiple disposable carbide or ceramic tips or inserts, often golden in color. The tips are not designed to be re-sharpened and are selected from a range of types that may be determined by various criteria, some of which may be: tip shape, cutting action required, and material being cut. When the tips are blunt, they may be removed, rotated (indexed) and replaced to present a fresh, sharp face to the work piece, this increases the life of the tip and thus their economical cutting life.
