eccentric. Recently, most end mills have the eccentric relief(eccentric sharpening). In this method, since the relief

improves and the strength of cutting edge increase at the same time.(Fig.4) As a result, the tool life is improved.

5 Case of Resharpening

Fig. 4. Toothing of Eccentric Relief Angle
When the product finish become worse, the cutting edge must get dulled, chips become smaller and the cutting sound gets
louder. In such cases, an end mill must be resharpened. The following are the damages of end mills when the resharpening 2
is required. ANGLE OF WHEEL INCLINATION
Eccentric relief is produced with a plain wheel positioned with its axis parallel or at a slight angle with the cutter
axis. The degree of relief is varied by changing the angle of wheel inclination.

Cutters should be sharpened as soon as the wear land(Fig. 2.) reaches a predetermined
width. This width should permit sharpening without excessive loss of tool life. It may 1 .0038 .0055 1/32 2°16′ 4°54′ 14°27′ 8°27′ 25°
