Common types of milling cutters

The excellent performance of the alloy milling cutter comes from the high-quality and ultra-fine grained carbide matrix, the tool wear resistance and cutting edge strength are perfectly combined. Strict and scientific geometry control makes the cutting and chip removal of the tool more stable. In the cavity milling process, the necking structure and the short edge design not only ensure the rigidity of the tool, but also avoid the danger of interference.

Common types of milling cutters

1. End mills, wave-edge end mills

Nice micro end mill bits now are  the choice of many people.

The difference between wave-edge end mills and ordinary end mills is that their cutting edges are wave-shaped. The use of this kind of end mill can effectively reduce cutting resistance, prevent vibration during milling, and significantly improve milling efficiency. It can change the long and narrow thin chips into thick and short pieces of chips, so that the chip evacuation is smooth. Because the blade is wave-shaped, the length of the cutting edge in contact with the workpiece is shorter, and the tool is not prone to vibration.

2. Face milling cutter

The main cutting edge of the face milling cutter is distributed on the cylindrical surface of the milling cutter or the cone surface of the circular machine tool, and the secondary cutting edge is distributed on the end surface of the milling cutter. Face milling cutters can be divided into integral face milling cutters, cemented carbide integral welded face milling cutters, cemented carbide machine clamp welded face milling cutters, and cemented carbide indexable face milling cutters according to their structure.

3. Angle milling cutters

Angle milling cutters are mainly used for processing various angle grooves and inclined planes on horizontal milling machines. The material of the angle milling cutter is generally high-speed steel. Angle machine tool electrical milling cutters can be divided into three types: single-angle milling cutters, asymmetric double-angle milling cutters and symmetrical double-angle milling cutters according to their different shapes. The strength of the teeth of the angle milling cutter is relatively small. When milling, the appropriate cutting amount should be selected to prevent vibration and chipping.

4. Keyway milling cutter

When processing the keyway, feed a small amount in the axial direction of the milling cutter each time, and then feed it in the radial direction. This is repeated many times, that is, the machine tool can complete the processing of the keyway. Since the wear of the milling cutter is on the end face and the outer circle part close to the end face, only the end face cutting edge is sharpened during grinding, so that the diameter of the milling cutter can remain unchanged, so that the machining keyway accuracy is higher and the milling cutter life is longer. The diameter range of keyway milling cutter is 2-63mm, and the shank has a straight shank and a Mord type taper shank.

Alloy milling cutter has high hardness, high wear resistance, high red hardness, high thermal stability and oxidation resistance. Suitable for all kinds of high-speed cutting tools, all kinds of wear-resistant parts that work under high temperature, such as hot wire drawing dies, etc.
