Solid milling cutters are manufactured from

  • A.Carbide
  • B.Stellite
  • C.HSS
  • D.Ceramic

Answer: C

Solid milling cutters are made from HSS.

High speed steel is tough enough to be made into a one-piece cutter with many fine teeth, and it can be ground and resharpened easily. That is why plain, side-and-face, slitting, form and end mills are commonly solid HSS.

Carbide and ceramic are too brittle and costly to make whole cutters of most sizes; they are used as brazed tips or indexable inserts in the cutter body (small solid carbide end mills are the exception). Stellite is a cast cobalt alloy used for tool tips and hard-facing, not for solid cutters.
