Strategies and practices on efficient use of milling cutters.


To use milling cutters more efficiently, follow these tips:

1, choose the right tool: for different processing materials, choose the appropriate type of milling cutter is very important. For example, for the processing of aluminum alloys, you can choose to use 2 – or 4-edge high-speed steel mills or carbide mills; For difficult materials such as stainless steel or titanium alloy, a 4 – or 6-edge carbide cutter can be used. In addition, the tool coating can also reduce friction during processing and extend the service life of the tool, so it is also important to choose the right coating.
2, keep the milling cutter sharp: sharp milling cutter can better cut the workpiece, reduce friction, and extend the service life. Regular grinding and tool replacement are necessary, and at the same time, the use of lubricants or coolants can reduce the cutting temperature, protect the tool, and improve cutting efficiency.
3, control milling cutter feed speed and cutting depth: feed speed and cutting depth are important factors affecting milling quality and work efficiency. Too fast feed speed and too large cutting depth will lead to increased tool wear and affect the surface quality of the workpiece. Too slow feed speed and cutting depth will lead to low production efficiency. Therefore, the appropriate feed speed and cutting depth should be selected according to the specific situation.
4, optimize the machine Settings: In order to obtain the best milling effect, the power and stiffness of the machine should be checked to ensure that the diameter of the milling cutter used can be used on the machine. The overhang of the cutter on the spindle should be as short as possible to reduce the impact of the milling cutter axis and the position of the workpiece on the impact load. At the same time, the appropriate milling cutter pitch and main deflection Angle are selected to ensure that there are not too many blades engaged with the workpiece at the same time during cutting and cause vibration.
5, the use of the correct cutting fluid: when necessary, the use of cutting fluid can reduce the cutting temperature, reduce tool wear, and improve the surface quality of the workpiece. However, the use of cutting fluid should be moderate, too much cutting fluid may lead to an increase in the surface roughness of the workpiece.

In short, the efficient use of a milling cutter requires a combination of factors, including choosing the right tool, keeping the tool sharp, controlling the feed speed and depth of cut, optimizing the machine Settings, and using the right cutting fluid. By following these recommendations, milling efficiency and quality can be significantly improved.
