The main uses of milling cutters
Broadly divided into.
1、Flat head milling cutters for rough milling, removal of large amount of blanks, small area horizontal plane or contour finish milling.
2、Ball end mills for semi-finish milling and finish milling of curved surfaces; small ball end mills for finish milling of steep surfaces / small chamfers of straight walls and irregular contour surfaces.
3、Flat milling cutter with chamfer, can do rough milling to remove a large number of blanks, but also fine milling fine flat surface (relative to the steep surface) small chamfer.
4、Forming milling cutter, including chamfering cutter, T-shaped milling cutter or called drum cutter, tooth cutter, internal R cutter.
5, chamfering cutter, chamfering cutter shape and chamfering the same shape, divided into milling round chamfering and bevel chamfering milling cutter.
6、T-type cutter, can be milled T-slot.
7、Tooth type cutter, milling out various tooth types, such as gears.
8、Rough skin cutter, designed for aluminum and copper alloy cutting rough milling cutter, can be quickly processed.
The use of milling cutter
Clamping of milling cutter
Most of the milling cutters used in machining centers are clamped with spring-loaded clamps and are in cantilever form when used. In the milling process, sometimes the milling cutter may be gradually extended from the tool holder, so that the complete? The reason is generally due to the presence of oil film between the inner hole of the tool holder and the outer diameter of the shank of the milling cutter, resulting in insufficient clamping force. The milling cutter factory is generally coated with anti-rust oil, if cutting with non-water-soluble cutting oil, the tool holder bore will also be attached to a layer of foggy oil film, sell the tool holder and tool holder are on the oil film, the tool holder is difficult to firmly clamp the tool holder, in the processing of milling cutter is super loose? Lost. So before the milling cutter clamping, should first milling cutter shank and tool holder bore with cleaning fluid clean, wipe dry before clamping.
When the diameter of the milling cutter is large, even if the shank and the tool holder are clean, it may still happen? If you lose the cutter, you should use the shank with leveling notch and the corresponding side locking method.
Another title that may appear after the milling cutter clamping is the processing of milling cutter is broken at the port of the tool holder, the reason is generally due to the use of the tool holder light too long, the port of the tool holder has worn into a taper, then the new tool holder should be replaced.
