A regular end mill is a fundamental cutting tool used in milling operations to remove material from a workpiece by making rotary cuts. It is one of the most commonly used tools in machining and is essential for creating flat surfaces, contours, slots, and pockets in various materials.

The design of a regular end mill typically consists of a cylindrical shank with cutting edges at one end. These cutting edges may be straight, allowing the end mill to make square-bottomed cuts, or they may be helical, facilitating smoother cutting action and improved chip evacuation.

Regular end mills come in a variety of configurations to suit different machining requirements and material properties. They can have square, ball nose, corner radius, or tapered ends, each offering specific advantages depending on the application. The choice of end mill geometry depends on factors such as the desired surface finish, material hardness, and machining strategy.

Materials commonly used in the construction of regular end mills include high-speed steel (HSS), cobalt steel, carbide, and diamond coatings. These materials are selected for their durability, wear resistance, and ability to withstand the high temperatures and forces generated during machining operations.

The number of flutes on a regular end mill can vary, with options ranging from one to multiple flutes. More flutes generally provide better chip evacuation and surface finish, while fewer flutes may offer increased rigidity and cutting efficiency in certain materials.
