Fun With Flute Count : In The Loupe TV Ep. 2

One of the most important considerations when choosing an end mill is determining which flute count is best for the job at hand. Both material and application play an important role in this critical part of the tool selection process. Join Don Grandt, the cutting tool counselor, in episode two of In The Loupe TV to learn about the differences between different flute counts!

Started studying machinist here in Finland. Must say your videos have been great help. By being really detailed and going to basics in really simple way.

Don...
Aluminum is a soft material..
Which is that gummy material?
Is sterl is gummy?
But steel is hard material and we do machining that with tool of more number of flutes. right?

[@barrysummers8577]

Great video! nicely done very informitive!
I would like to learn more about Helical interpolation since Helical is your brand.🙂

[@dongrandt372]

Sounds like a great Topic!!!

Informative video that was not very operational. At th-cam.com/video/bw5bG7tlo3U/w-d-xo.html you display the most major drawback of multiflute mills - pockets. When you are ramping into ex. aluminum chips need to come out and high flute count has difficulties. High flute count also makes chips that require much better coolant flow.
We have a wonderful - reasonable 6 flute endmill for steel that we use on aluminum outside, but chips are so fine that coolant does not remove them.
I would have liked a tool path discussion of how to mill pockets, and I would like to suggestions for compromises om low spindle speed machines like our Haas TM1P (6000RPM) because clearly we can ramp up speeds a lot if we can run more flutes, but we have most luck with 3 flutes

When running higher flute counts in aluminum and pocketing with ramping.. I would say you better have a higher Helix tool. Because of the limited space on helical ramping you want the chips to come up not out..45 degree or higher. Great discussion and comments. Glad you are watching. ctc
