End mill vsfacemill

Generally, in order to ensure the machining efficiency and tool life, we will recommend different tools for different processing methods. For example, thread cutters are used to turn threads, drilling tools are used to drill holes, and milling tools are used for milling.

However, if there is no drill in some special cases, and we have a general single edge and double or three edge end mill passing through the center, it can also be used as a drill temporarily.

End Mill Drill Bit

End mill is generally divided into sharp tooth end mill and relieving tooth end mill; drill is divided into diamond bit, cone bit and scraper bit.

End mills are used in many machining processes, which greatly improves the efficiency of workpiece processing. Many people wonder whether the end mill can be used as a drill because it is similar to the drill? As a supplier of carbide cutting tools, UKO is here to explain the difference between end mill and drill?

End mill is mainly used to process plane, step, groove, forming surface and cutting workpiece on milling machine, while drill is one of the important tools for oil drilling, which is generally used for drilling.
