Selection and Analysis of Parameters for Composite Carbide End Mills

Carbide end mills are quite expensive tools. Reduction of cost of such end mills while maintaining their key performance characteristics is an important and long-running task. One way for solution of this problem is to develop a composite end mill, which tail part is made of structural material and working part of carbide. Versions for positioning and connecting tail and working parts may differ, and this will influence the performance characteristics and, accordingly, the scope of application of a particular version of end mill.
