High speed steel (HSS) is a material usually used in the manufacture of machine tool bits and cutters. It is often used in power saw blades and drill bits. It is superior to the older high carbon steel tools in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing its temper (hardness). Because of this, high speed steel can cut metal at a higher speed than its predecessor high carbon steel, hence the name high speed steel. It is about as hard as high carbon steel at room temperature. Only at elevated temperatures does it become advantageous. ...more on Wikipedia about "High speed steel"
Milling cutters are cutting tools used in milling machines or machining centres. They are used to remove material by their movement within the machine (eg: a ball nose mill) or directly from the cutters shape (a form tool such as a Hobbing cutter). ...more on Wikipedia about "Milling cutter" You've Got Questions.
