Flute Direction - to maintain surface quality where it matters most

Right-hand flutes have an pulling axial cutting direction going up towards the machine's spindle.
Left-hand flutes have an pushing axial cutting direction going down away from the spindle
Straight flutes offer a neutral cutting force

Tooth profile - to offer maximum material removal rates and surface quality

Coarse - For thicker materials
Medium - For thinner materials
Fine - For thinner materials
Smooth - Universal applications

End type

Square - Offers the highest radial cutting edge length
Chamfered - Relieves some of the stress that happens at the corners in square mills
Ball nose - Universal milling tool. Can cut on all sides
Drill Point - Used when a plunging operation is necessary
