CNC Fly Cutters
CNC fly cutters are single point cutters that you attach to a computer controlled mill. They are the finishing and facing tools no shop can be without. There may be more fly cutters in a manual machine shop, but CNC'ers know know that a fly cutter beats a face mill every time for a superior finish. That's because fly cutters cut a larger swath on each pass. As you know, the fewer the passes, the smoother the finish. It's a low-tech tool for a high-tech finish.

CNC Fly Cutters Rock

CNC fly cutters are just a cylindrical body that accepts a tool for cutting. It's not the tool for removing large amounts of metal, but it is perfect for shaving off very small amounts. Fly cutters rock the finishing world. Face it, finishing with a face mill just doesn't cut it. All puns intended. Face mills use multiple cutters. When you put multiple cutters into one tool you get a bad finish if the inserts are not exactly the same height. And, you know they won't be. For the best possible finish, a single cutter is always the best solution. A face mill can only do the job if remove all the cutters but one. Still, it won't be the same. So, just start with a fly cutter!
