What types of milling cutters are there

Milling cutter is one of the milling tools, mainly used for consumable cutting tools for precision machining of metal molds, machine tool parts, various electronic machine parts, etc. (mainly used for copy milling, die milling, face milling, etc.) .

The drill can only be used for axial machining, but the milling cutter can process most of the other directions except for some shapes.

The material of milling cutter is usually divided into high-speed steel and cemented carbide

A good milling cutter should be scientifically designed, precisely machined, and able to obtain high satisfaction from customers; using high-quality raw materials and excellent coating technology, it has excellent wear resistance

According to the shape of the blade, milling cutters can be divided into ball end milling cutters, flat end milling cutters, arc angle milling cutters, etc.

Cylindrical milling cutter

For machining planes on horizontal milling machines. The cutter teeth are distributed on the circumference of the milling cutter, and are divided into straight teeth and helical teeth according to the tooth shape. According to the number of teeth, there are two kinds of coarse teeth and fine teeth. The helical-tooth coarse-tooth milling cutter has few teeth, high tooth strength, and large chip space, which is suitable for rough machining; fine-toothed milling cutter is suitable for finishing.

milling cutter

The first is down milling. The rotation direction of the milling cutter and the feed direction of the cutting are the same. When the cutting starts, the milling cutter bites the workpiece and cuts off the last chip.

The second is up-cut milling. The rotation direction of the milling cutter is opposite to the feeding direction of the cutting. The milling cutter must slip on the workpiece for a period before starting to cut, starting with the cutting thickness of zero, and reaching the cutting thickness at the end of the cutting. maximum.
