What is it about?
The development of end milling cutter tools is a complicated and time consuming process. This article concentrated on a more step-by-step general approach to the problem of designing new end milling cutters.

Why is it important?
The complex variable nature of the milling process complicates the scientific effort to understand it. Most scientific papers in this domain have focused on giving a particular solution for a specific subject of study, like: tool life, cutting forces, obtained surfaces after machining and so on. However a systematical analytical method for developing end milling cutter tools has not been found in the current literature. The main goal of this paper is to introduce and to give a general overview in the field of developing end milling cutters. The step-by-step approach focuses on the main element of a cutting tool: material, coating and geometry. Through an analytical study of the development of end milling cutters all elements in the design, manufacturing and testing have been taken into consideration. Such a method can be implemented when trying to analyze and summarize the research in the field of end milling cutters. The current paper is a preliminary evaluation in the development of end milling cutters. Further research will be accomplished in partnership between the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and tool company Gühring KG.
Perspectives
I hope this article will help other researchers have a more structured view of the process of developing new end milling cutters. It can be taken into consideration also as a comprehensive introductory material to this topic.
