Abstract:
An end mill has a shank section and a cutting section connected thereto. The cutting section includes a core supporting at least two spaced apart teeth that have a cutting edge extending in the axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the end mill. Each cutting edge has a flute associated therewith and each flute has, for each cross-section of the end mill perpendicular to the axis of rotation thereof, a bottom point on the core at a shortest distance to the axis of rotation. At least two flutes have a shortest distance that varies differently with the distance to a cutting end of the end mill.

Claim (Index 1):
An end mill comprising:\n a shank section arranged to be retained in a rotary driven apparatus; and a cutting section connected to the shank section, the cutting section including a core which supports at least two spaced apart teeth which have a cutting edge extending in an axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the end mill to a cutting end of the end mill located opposite to a cutting section end closest to a connection to the shank section, each cutting edge having a flute associated therewith, the flute being located before the cutting edge in an intended direction of rotation of the end mill and each flute having for each cross-section of the end mill perpendicular to the axis of rotation thereof a bottom point on said core at a shortest distance to the axis of rotation, wherein each axial portion of the cutting section of a predetermined length has at least two flutes each with a said shortest distance, each shortest distance varying differently, one increasing while the other decreasing, with the distance to the cutting end of the end mill in the axial direction.
