A four-flute end mill is a rotary cutting tool with four helical cutting edges (flutes), primarily used in CNC machining for harder materials like steel, stainless steel, titanium, and cast iron. Its design prioritizes tool strength and a superior surface finish over rapid material removal in softer materials.

Key Features
High Rigidity: The increased number of flutes results in a thicker core, minimizing tool deflection and vibration (chatter) during operation.
Superior Surface Finish: More cutting edges mean more frequent contact with the workpiece, resulting in a significantly smoother and more precise finish compared to 2-flute tools.
Faster Feed Rates: Because there are more cutting edges per revolution, operators can use higher feed rates without sacrificing tool life, increasing overall productivity.
Heat Resistance: They are often designed to handle high-speed cutting in heat-resistant alloys and hardened materials
