Chamfer Mills Overview
Chamfer Mills are one of the most common tools used by machinists, because nearly every machined component requires at least one chamfer operation. Many machining operations leave a burr or sharp edge on the workpiece, and a chamfer mill removes the sharp edges, leaving a smooth, angled surface or chamfer.
In addition to chamfering, these versatile chamfer mills can be used for several other machining operations, such as creating a full bevel along the edge of a part, breaking sharp edges, countersinking holes, or preparing material for welding operations.
Haas End Mill Series
High-Speed Performance Milling 1 (HSPM1)
HSPM1 series chamfer end mills are 4-flute cutters designed for high-speed performance chamfering in steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys, with secondary applications in cast iron and aluminum. They are solid carbide end mills, with a TiAlN coating.
Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating increases the resistance to wear, ductility, and heat transfer through the chips, making these cutters a good all-around choice for roughing and finishing steel, stainless steels, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys.
High-Speed Aluminum Milling 1 (HSAM1)
HSAM1 series chamfer end mills are 2-flute cutters designed for high-speed chamfering primarily in aluminum and steel, with secondary applications in stainless steel and cast iron. They are solid carbide end mills, with a TiCN coating.
Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) provides excellent abrasive resistance, and hardness to the cutting edge. It does not perform well at very high temperatures, so properly applied coolant is a must. This coating is perfect for aluminum and abrasive high-silicon aluminum alloys.
