Indexable Shoulder Milling Tools
Square Shoulder Milling Cutters
Indexable Shoulder Milling Tools allow operators to create flat, angular surfaces on a workpiece from a tilted axis and remove large amounts of material from a component. Pacific Industrial Supply is stocked with over 200 square shoulder milling cutters to effectively form broad, square shoulders on parts and rough out large amounts of material. Our wide network of manufacturers allows us to source the highest quality indexable shoulder milling tools and deliver products to you under tight turnaround times. Indexable end mills utilize an easy-to-replace cutting insert for both shoulder milling and face milling. This provides the ability to replace the cutting tip when required. This can easily reduce cycle times and increase productivity by rendering a tool change unnecessary.Request a quote on indexable shoulder milling tools, select shoulder milling tools from our product offering below or Contact us for more information.

Choosing The Right Shoulder Milling Tool
There are a number of considerations to be made prior to choosing an indexable shoulder milling tool for your application, such as the size and material of the component. Prior to selecting a shoulder milling tool, it is important to identify the following:- Allotted production time
- Type of machine used (horizontal vs vertical, axes configuration, etc.)
- Workpiece material (hard vs soft)
- Amount of material being removed
- Cutter angle, diameter & speed
- Number of required tool changes
Advantages of Using Indexable Shoulder Milling Tool Advantages
Shoulder milling tools can form square shoulders and angles with precise accuracy, remove stock and create a surface finish on a machined component. Because indexable shoulder milling cutters are easy to change out, they are more versatile, time effective and cost effective than solid end mills. Indexable cutters have multiple cutting edges and can therefore machine large or small shoulders. The cutter is secured by its flange, and the secure connection between the cutter and inserts allows for the full use of the depth of cut produced by the cutter. Using an indexable end mill with a high speed steel body and carbide tip can increase tool life without requiring an upgrade on the overall tool or milling system. In addition to being more cost effective than single body solid tools, indexable milling tools allow the operator to switch out tools of varying materials to handle more complex machining jobs involving multiple components.Indexable Shoulder Milling Tool Best Practices
It is important to ensure the material of your shoulder milling tool is recommended for the material being machined. While Pacific Industrial Supply provides the highest quality cutting tools available, tools will dull over time. Dull tools should be replaced immediately, as they could create a poor finish or damage the workpiece. Proper speed rates should also be adhered to based on the material of the component. Shallow cuts are recommended to avoid vibration, and pressure should be regulated to avoid cracks in the component or a broken cutting tool.Indexable Shoulder Milling Tool Applications
