Several Common Types Of Milling Cutters In CNC Processing Plants

A Milling Cutter Is A Rotary Tool With One More Teeth Used For Milling . When Working, Each Tooth Cuts Off The Workpiece's Excess In Sequence Intermittently. Milling Cutters Are Mainly Used To Process Planes, Steps, Grooves, Forming Surfaces, Cut Off Workpieces On Milling Machines. Do You Want To Have A Deeper Understanding Of Milling Cutters? Next, Huiwen Zhizao Will Introduce Milling Cutter Diameters, Several Common Types, Structures, Classifications, Main Uses, Usage Methods, Selection Of Cutting Parameters, Basic Requirements For Cutting Materials, Maintenance.

1. Several Common Types Of Milling Cutters In CNC Processing Plants

A Milling Cutter Is A Rotary Tool Mainly Used For Machining Planes, Steps, Grooves, Formed Surfaces Cutting Workpieces On A Milling Machine. During Operation, Each Tooth Cuts Off The Excess Of The Workpiece In Turn Intermittently. There Are Several Common Types Of Milling Cutters, Including Cylindrical Milling Cutters, Face Milling Cutters, End Milling Cutters, Three-Sided Milling Cutters, Angle Milling Cutters, Saw Blade Milling Cutters, T-Shaped Milling Cutters, Etc.:

1. Cylindrical Milling Cutter:

Used For Machining Planes On Horizontal Milling Machines. The Teeth Are Distributed On The Circumference Of The Milling Cutter. According To The Tooth Shape, They Are Divided Into Straight Teeth Spiral Teeth. According To The Number Of Teeth, They Are Divided Into Coarse Teeth Fine Teeth. Coarse-Tooth Milling Cutters With Spiral Teeth Have Fewer Teeth, Higher Tooth Strength, Larger Chip Space, Are Suitable For Rough Machining; Fine-Tooth Milling Cutters Are Suitable For Fine Machining;

2. Face Milling Cutter:

It Is Used For Machining Planes On Vertical Milling Machines, Face Milling Machines Gantry Milling Machines. There Are Cutter Teeth On The End Face Circumference, There Are Also Coarse Teeth Fine Teeth. Its Structure Has Three Types: Integral Type, Inlaid Tooth Type Indexable Type.

3. End Mill:

Used For Processing Grooves Step Surfaces, Etc., The Cutter Teeth Are On The Circumference End Surface. The CNC Processing Plant Cannot Feed In The Axial Direction When Working. When The End Mill Has End Teeth Passing Through The Center, It Can Feed In The Axial Direction;

4. Side Face Milling Cutter:

Used For Processing Various Grooves Step Surfaces, With Teeth On Both Sides Circumference;

5. Angle Milling Cutter:

Used For Milling Grooves At A Certain Angle, There Are Two Types Of Milling Cutters: Single-Angle Double-Angle;

6. Saw Blade Milling Cutter:

Used For Processing Deep Grooves Cutting Workpieces. There Are More Teeth On The Circumference. In Order To Reduce Friction During Milling, There Are 15'~1° Secondary Deflection Angles On Both Sides Of The Teeth. In Addition, There Are Keyway Milling Cutters, Dovetail Slot Milling Cutters, T-Slot Milling Cutters Various Forming Milling Cutters.

7. T-Shaped Milling Cutter: Used To Mill T-Shaped Slots.

2. Milling Processing In CNC Processing Plant

What Is "Milling"? In Fact, It Still Uses A Rotating Processing Method, But This Time It Is The Turn Of The Milling Cutter To Rotate. Milling Is To Fix The Blank Use A High-Speed Rotating Milling Cutter To Cut On The Blank To Cut Out The Required Shape Features. Traditional Milling Is Mostly Used To Mill Simple Shapes/Features Such As Contours Grooves. CNC Milling Machines Can Process Complex Shapes Features. Milling Boring Machining Centers Can Perform Three-Axis Multi-Axis Milling Boring Processing, Which Is Used For Processing, Molds, Inspection Fixtures, Jigs, Thin-Walled Complex Curved Surfaces, Artificial Prostheses, Blades, Etc. When Choosing CNC Milling Processing Content, The Advantages Key Role Of CNC Milling Machines Should Be Fully Utilized.

There Are Two Types Of Relative Motion In Traditional Milling Processing. One Is As Shown In The Figure Above, The Workpiece Being Processed Is Fixed Relies Entirely On The Milling Cutter To Rotate Translate On Its Own. The Other Is As Shown In The Figure Below, The Milling Cutter Simply Rotates The Workpiece Can Move In Three Directions: Front, Back, Left, Right, Up Down.

A Milling Cutter Is A Multi-Edge Tool. In Each Milling Process, Each Blade Of The Milling Cutter Only Participates In One Cutting, The Rest Of The Time Is Stopped To Facilitate Heat Dissipation. In This Way, The Cutting Efficiency Of The Milling Cutter Is Higher Than That Of A Single-Edge Turning Tool. Milling Cutters Of Different Shapes Can Complete The Processing Of Various Planes, Step Surfaces, Grooves, Cavities. The Milling Amount During Milling Is Composed Of Four Elements: Cutting Speed, Feed Rate, Back Cutting Amount (Milling Depth) Side Cutting Amount (Milling Width).
