Gong knife, also known as a milling cutter

Seven Gong Knife Milling Cutter Features

A Gong Knife Milling Cutter is a rotary cutting tool used for routing, profiling, slotting, trimming, pocketing, and shaping suitable wood, plastics, composites, and nonferrous materials. The term can describe several router-bit or end-mill forms, so diameter, edge geometry, flute design, shank, and intended operation should always be confirmed before use.

Common designs include straight, spiral, flat-end, ball-end, V-shaped, chamfer, and form cutters. Straight and spiral tools handle grooves and profiles, flat-end tools create level bases, ball-end tools follow 3D contours, and form cutters reproduce a defined decorative shape. Flute count and helix influence chip evacuation, cutting force, finish, and productivity.

Select the cutting diameter, shank, flute length, overall reach, substrate, coating, and corner geometry for the material and machine. Minimize runout and overhang, secure the workpiece, and use suitable speed, feed, depth, coolant, and chip control. A specialist milling cutter supplier can recommend compatible tools. General milling cutter information also explains forms, teeth, materials, mounting, and applications.
