Corner Comparison: Corner Chamfer vs. Corner Radius
Harvey Performance Company | In the Loupe Machinist Blog

Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations, we tested different end mill corner geometries to compare their effects on both the tool and the workpiece. We studied and compared four 4 flute tools with either a 0.010” or 0.030” radius or chamfer. All tools were tested in 304 stainless steel at 1865 RPM, 244 SFM, and 0.0045 IPT for one revolution. Both Corner Radius and Corner Chamfer tools offer advantages over Square End Mills by improving tool strength and reducing wear, though their benefits vary. One drawback of corner radius end mills is chip thinning along the radius, which can gener ..read more

Carbon fiber is a woven cloth made of crystalline filaments of carbon cured with a polymer, which can be layered and shaped around a mold. It is an ideal material due to its impressive strength-to-weight ratio , meaning it’s very strong, but not heavy. Carbon fiber is five times lighter than steel with an equal elastic modulus, making it a better choice for many applications. Further, it is corrosion-resistant, non-flammable, and non-toxic, properties that make it an ideal material to use in aerospace, medical, construction, and military industries.
