End Mill Types:
There are basically two different types of end mills; Finishing End Mills, or Roughing End Mills. Each of these options is offered with two flute, or multiple flute, different lengths, as well as materials. A normal rule for which to use is that the harder the material, the better it is to use a multiple flute cutter. For Materials like aluminum, a two flute works just fine.

Facing Types:
There are two types of facing tools, the Fly Cutter, and the Carbide Face Mill.

This is a Fly Cutter; Works well to take of material in one pass on a larger surface, but does not do as smooth of a job, and can be hard on the machine when working with hard metals.

This is a Carbide Face Mill; it does not make as large of cuts as most fly cutters, but leaves a very nice finish, and is faster to cut with.
