The shape of the end mill has 3 parts that are cutting part, shank part which supports the milling machine and
neck part which connects to the shank part.

- Name of Cutting part

Outside diameter :
the maximum external diameter of the cutting edge of End Mill
Shank diameter :
the maximum external diameter of the shank part of End Mill
Shank length :
length of the support in the milling machine
Length of cut :
length of the cutting part of End Mill
Overall length :
whole length of the cutting part, shank part and neck part at the center line of the END Mill
Number of Blades :
It refers the number of the cutting blades, There are various types such as 1,2,3 or 4 blades but generally
2,3,4,5, and 6 blades are commonly used.

Rank angle :
Its very important part in the cutting performance of the End Mill. It means the angle between the hollow
surface and the assumed center line when seeing the bottom end teeth from straight ahead.
Radial primary relief :
It means the first angle of the radial cutting part that is important in cutting performance as the rake angle.
Radial secondary relief :
Its the next angle from the primary relief that makes the sufficient space between the work material and
End Mill during the cutting process.
Land width :
whole width of both radial primary and secondary reliefs.
Axial secondary relief :
the angle that is next to the axial primary relief.
Flute :
Its used in the passage that chip can be passed during the whole cutting process because chip cannot be
discharged smoothly.

Helix angle :
angle of the twisted part along the temporary axis.
Gashing :
the passage that the processed chip can be passed during the cutting process.
End teeth relief angle :
tilt angle of the bottom cutting part on the axis.
Axial primary relief :
the tilt angle of the bottom cutting part on the temporary surface.
Axial secondary relief :
the angle that is next to the axial primary relief.
Concavity(=DISH) :
angle of bottom cutting edge toward the center of diameter, which both sides of the bottom cutting parts of End
Mill passes.
