Full title and description

ISO 10145-1:2016 PDF — End mills with brazed helical hardmetal tips — Part 1: Dimensions of end mills with parallel shank. This part of ISO 10145 specifies the general dimensional characteristics for end mills with brazed helical hardmetal (carbide) tips that use a parallel (cylindrical) shank, including plain and flatted shank variants, for both right‑hand and left‑hand cutters.

Abstract

ISO 10145-1:2016 defines the general dimensions of end mills with brazed helical hardmetal tips having a parallel (cylindrical) shank. It covers two shank types — plain parallel shank and flatted parallel shank — and applies irrespective of helix angle or number of flutes. The document provides the dimensional specifications manufacturers and users use to ensure interchangeability and correct fit in toolholding systems.

Scope

ISO 10145-1:2016 specifies the general dimensions (basic sizes and key dimensional references) for end mills fitted with brazed helical hardmetal tips where the tool has a parallel (cylindrical) shank. It covers end mills with plain parallel shanks and with flatted parallel shanks and applies to both right‑hand and left‑hand end mills regardless of helix angle and number of flutes. The standard is limited to dimensional definitions (not cutting geometry, materials selection or performance testing).

Key topics and requirements

• Dimensional tables and nominal sizes for end mills with parallel (cylindrical) shanks (plain and flatted).
• Designation of shank type (plain or flatted) and key dimensional references for correct mounting and interchangeability.
• Applicability to both right‑hand and left‑hand cutters and independence from helix angle and flute count.
• Compatibility and cross‑reference requirements with shank standards (plain and flatted cylindrical shank dimensional standards).
• Simple, concise format focused on basic dimensions rather than tolerances, coatings, or cutting‑edge geometry (those are covered by other standards and manufacturer specifications).

Typical use and users

Primary users are cutting‑tool manufacturers, tool designers, quality engineers, procurement specialists and machine shops that produce or buy end mills. Toolmakers use the standard to set up production and inspection for dimensional conformity; purchasers and OEMs use it to verify interchangeability and fit in toolholders; standards bodies and testing laboratories use it as a reference for dimensional checks.

Related standards

Relevant related standards and documents include ISO 10145-2:2016 (Part 2 — dimensions for end mills with 7/24 taper shank) and shank‑dimension standards such as ISO 3338-1 (plain cylindrical shanks) and ISO 3338-2 (flatted cylindrical shanks). Toolholding and taper shank interfaces are covered in standards such as ISO 7388-1 (7/24 taper shanks for automatic tool changers). National/adopted equivalents and identical publications (e.g., BS ISO 10145-1:2016, NF ISO 10145-1:2016) also exist.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10145-1:2016 is an ISO international standard that specifies the general dimensional characteristics of end mills fitted with brazed helical hardmetal (carbide) tips that have a parallel (cylindrical) shank.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers basic dimensions and nominal sizes for two parallel‑shank types (plain and flatted), and applies to right‑hand and left‑hand end mills regardless of helix angle or number of flutes. It does not specify cutting geometry, coatings or performance testing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool manufacturers, tool designers, quality/control engineers, procurement teams, machine shops, OEMs and standards bodies use the document to ensure dimensional interchangeability and correct toolholder fit.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2016 edition (Edition 2) was published in March 2016 and was reviewed and confirmed in 2021. It superseded the 1993 edition; users should check national adoption or later ISO reviews for any subsequent changes, but the 2016 edition is the current published edition unless a newer revision has been released after 2021.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10145 is a multipart series covering end mills with brazed helical hardmetal tips. Part 1 covers parallel shanks (this document) and Part 2 covers 7/24 taper shanks; other related parts or complementary standards address shanks and toolholder interfaces.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Key keywords include end mill, brazed hardmetal tip, carbide tip, helical tip, parallel shank, flatted shank, dimensions, milling cutter, ISO 10145.
