Boost Machining Productivity with Advanced Roughing End Mills

In response to growing demands for efficient rough machining in the manufacturing industry, AMG has introduced a new generation of high-performance roughing end mills, widely known in the industry as “roughing cutters.” These tools are specifically designed for aggressive material removal, ideal for mold making, structural parts machining, and pre-processing of cast components with large machining allowances.

The term "roughing cutter" refers to tools used for initial heavy-duty cutting operations, particularly to remove oxide layers or uneven surfaces from raw workpieces. AMG’s roughing cutters are crafted from high-toughness, ultra-fine grain carbide materials that offer excellent wear resistance and chipping stability. With a multi-tooth large chip pocket design, these tools deliver enhanced chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup, significantly improving tool life.

AMG’s roughing cutters also feature special edge preparation and geometry optimized for rough machining, allowing high metal removal rates while maintaining machining stability. The product is well-suited for interrupted cutting and high-load applications across diverse materials.

For non-standard customization, AMG offers tailored solutions. Customers simply need to provide information such as workpiece material, machine type, cutting depth and width, spindle speed, and feed rate. AMG’s engineering team will deliver optimized tool configurations to match production needs, helping reduce processing time and cost.
