What is the difference between face milling and end milling?

It is often asked what is the difference between face milling and end milling.

As a metal cutting tool supplier, Our answer for you.

The target surfaces of end milling and face milling are both bottom surfaces rather than side surfaces, which also indicates that the top edge is the main cutting edge and the side edge is the secondary cutting edge.

The target surfaces of side milling and slot milling are both side surfaces rather than bottom surfaces, which also indicates that the cutting edge at the side end is the main cutting edge and the cutting edge at the bottom end is the secondary cutting edge.
