When it comes to milling, having the right end mills for every job is essential. Over time your end mills will start to wear down and need to be replaced. If you need new end mills, Online Carbide is here to help. Whether you need straight or Tapered End Mills, their quality solid carbide options will get the job done at a great price point. Don’t overpay for the cutting tools you need when you can get them from our team at Online Carbide.

Here at Online Carbide, we do not deal with middlemen like most of the industry leaders for milling cutting tools. Instead, we sell our cutting tools directly to their customers so you can save big when you deal with Online Carbide. Unlike a lot of the affordable end mill options, all of the end mills from Online Carbide are made in the USA using the latest robot fed 5 axis CNC grinders and high-quality solid carbide stock.

When it comes to milling cutting cools, you can’t beat the lifespan of solid carbide tools. Metal tools will wear down quickly and they are more likely to oscillate at high speeds, potentially damaging your work. Carbide itself is a type of ceramic that can hold an edge amazingly well, but in its natural state, it is a fine powder. By mixing tungsten carbide with metal, we are able to create a cermet, half ceramic, and half metal. This substance, colloquially known as carbide, is an ideal cutting tool material.

Carbide is not only rigid enough to operate at high speeds, but the ceramic component helps to hold the edge on the tool. This greatly extends the lifespan of the tool when compared to a metal equivalent. We only use the finest carbide stock to make our tools, no carbide coated metal or other cheap knockoffs.

Depending on your needs, we also treat our end mills with several different finishes. Our standard bright finish is simply polished carbide. While this does not add any extra edge retention or insulation, the polishing does make it easier for the chips to be evacuated. Many of our tools feature a titanium aluminum nitride coating also known as TiAlN. This coating helps to extend tool life by keeping end mills cooler. When heated, TiAlN forms a layer of Aluminum Oxide, which insulates the body of the end mill and deflects heat from the cut into the chips instead of the core of the tool. For our end mills for aluminum, we offer a Zirconium Nitride coating, also called ZrN. ZrN helps lower the friction on the end mill to easily evacuate chips and prevent caking of powdered aluminum.

If your shop needs new cutting tools that will perform and last, Online carbide has dozens of amazing options. Whether you need a drill mill or our full form thread tapered end mills, we have the options you need at the manufacturer direct prices you will love. Don’t spend more than you have to just to get the high-performance tools you need.
