If you’re making a part or two, it won’t really matter how hard you push the tool for maximum material removal. But if you’re making thousands of parts a week, you’ll need a more effective strategy. To effectively mill steel, you'll have to:

Try to avoid using two or three flute end mills for steel. Technically they’ll work, but steel isn’t the easiest material to cut, so those 2 or 3 cutting edges will wear pretty fast. Here are a few tips on tool selection:

To start with, all types of steel are machinable, unless it’s been surface, or through hardened. The harder you push the tool, the more you’ll notice the differences between them. As with all machining, you always need to be careful during fast, heavy cuts, especially when the tool exits the material, which is when the risk of tool chipping is at its highest.

Metric Threads There are two kinds of ISO metric threads: coarse and fine. The ISO metric thread profile and proportions are as follows: Metric Thread Pitch and Tapping Sizes Size Pitch (mm) Tapping Diameter (mm) Clearance Holes (mm) Coarse Fine Coarse Fine Close Medium Coarse M1.60.351.251.71.82.0 M20.41.62.22.42.6 M2.50.452.052.72.93.1 M30.52.53.23.43.6 M40.73.34.34.54.8 M50.84.25.35.55.8 M61.05.06.46.67.0 M81.251.06.87.08.49.010.0 M101.51.258.58.710.511.012.0 M121.751.2510.210.8131415 M162.01.514.014.517.018.019.0 M202.51.517.518.521.022.024.0 M243.02.021.022.025.026.028.0 M303.52.026.528.031.033.035.0 M364.03.032.033.037.039.042.0

Steel is machinable, and commonly found in pretty much any machine shop. The following steel milling basics will help you to hit the ground running, so you can land some good jobs and handle them like a pro.

Ultimately, if you really want to excel with machining steel, you’ll need to do some experimenting. Contact our tech support team for process improvement advice and steel milling product recommendations.
