Learn About the Best End Mill for High Hardness Steel

| BlackHawk Team

Branded as a new evolution in cutting tool technology, OSG’s A Brand follows other OSG end mills in yielding excellent quality work. As part of this group, the AE-BM-H 4-flute high-efficiency carbide ball end mill is specifically made for high heat resistance and toughness for high hardness steel.

OSG AE-BM-H end mill
The AE-BM-H end mill saves you time and money. The OSG end mill’s original DUROREY coating is optimized for steel milling and it provides enhanced heat resistance and suppresses chipping. This allows for higher performance and tool life. Independent testing resulted in approximately 60% reduction in wear vs. conventional coating given the same cutting length.

OSG AE-BM-H end mill features and benefits
Features for this newest OSG end mill include:

  • Variable Negative Spiral Gash - Controls chipping while securing cutting quality by making the negative angle weaker near the outer periphery. Chipping resistance can be enhanced in combination with the weaker helix angle specification.
  • Sharp Spiral Curve - Reduces cutting resistance and enables stable performance that helps to stretch tool life.
  • Secures Chip Pockets with the Center 2-flute Specification – Controls the clogging of chips.
  • Superior Ball R Precision - Secures stable R accuracy across 180°.
  • Thickness at Center - Thickening of the center core to prevent deformation of the ball tip lengthens tool life and improves control of chipping.
  • Superior Shank Accuracy - Supports h4 tolerance (0/-0.004).
  • Ideal for Shrink Fit Holders - Lineup of short-shank type suitable for shrink fit holders.
  • Smooth Surface Treatment - Improves surface accuracy by smoothening coating surface.
