Face milling against a shoulder – application considerations and tooling
ToolFinder » Find by Milling Application » Face Milling

When face milling against a shoulder, we recommend a 90-degree milling edge to allow close proximity to the shoulder and to minimize the corner radius left in the wall/floor transition.

If you have questions about the best tool choice and parameters for your application, please contact us.
