Types of CNC Milling Tools

The milling cutter is a multi-tooth rotary tool, and each of its teeth is equivalent to a turning tool fixed on the rotary surface of the milling cutter. When milling, the cutting edges that participate in cutting are longer, and there is no idle travel, and Vc is also higher, so the productivity is higher. […]

New developments in milling technology make it possible for manufacturers to save a lot of time and money by improving machining efficiency. From selecting the right milling tool for the task, to using rolling cuts in face milling, and using milling cutters for hole machining when conditions are right. Manufacturers can significantly increase production capacity

The aluminum parts currently processed are mainly divided into two categories: deformed aluminum alloy and cast aluminum alloy. So what kind of milling cutter is used to process aluminum alloy? Is it better to use a special milling cutter or a special tool for aluminum alloy to achieve better processing efficiency? This article discusses the

In mold processing, the production and discharge processing of copper males are very important. The quality of copper work and the difference in processing technology directly affect the external effect of the product. But in addition to discharge processing. In fact, there is a more direct processing method, that is, to use end mills to

Take the example of No. 45 steel with a blank size of 100mm×100mm×30mm and processed to a thickness of 25mm. Clamping of Workpiece When milling a plane, the workpiece’s machined surface must be higher than the jaws, otherwise the workpiece must be raised with parallel shims to expose enough machining allowance to avoid damaging the

Drilling and milling are two different processes for machining a workpiece. Drilling uses an up and down motion to cut the material, whereas milling uses a lateral motion. The main difference between milling and drilling is the speed. Drilling requires a low spindle speed, whereas milling requires a high spindle speed. What is the Difference

Improving CNC milling accuracy involves many factors. The key lies in tool design, processing parameter selection and vibration control. First of all, the helix angle of the tool directly affects the chip removal effect and surface roughness, while the feed amount and tool service life will also significantly affect the processing quality. In addition, machine

When milling complex workpieces on a milling machining center, the following issues should be noted when using CNC end mills. End Mill Clamping Most end mills used in machining centers are clamped by spring clip sets and are in a cantilever state when used. During the milling process, the end mill may gradually extend from

To stay competitive in today’s global economy, mold manufacturers must continue to produce high-quality products in extremely short time cycles. To achieve this goal, advanced manufacturing process technologies and cutting tool materials must be developed to keep mold shops in a competitive position. Hard milling, as one of these advanced manufacturing technologies, has been continuously

At present, micro-cutting has become an important technology to overcome the limitations of MEMS technology. Micro-milling technology has become a very active research hotspot due to its high efficiency, high flexibility, and ability to process complex three-dimensional shapes and a variety of materials.
