Let’s talk about the commonly used tools for cnc machining.
1. Application of milling cutter
Milling is the most varied and versatile cutting method among various cutting methods. Therefore, no matter it is a slot, undercut, flat surface or even a variety of shapes, it can be processed, and the surface brightness and precise size can be obtained through milling. The milling cutter is a multi-edge circular tool. The principle of milling is to use the multi-edge rotation of the milling cutter to produce cutting action. Therefore, although the tool cuts into the workpiece very deeply, the cutting amount of each edge is not large, so everything The cutting thickness of the cutting edge can still be maintained very thin, the processed surface obtained is also good, and the tool life can be maintained for a long time. The cutting efficiency is good and the use is wide, so the milling cutter occupies a very high weight in the current metal processing.
As the milling cutter can almost replace most of the traditional cutting tools in the current cutting process, no matter the design and manufacture of the milling cutter's material, shape, structure...etc., there are not only extremely diverse and complex types. Now only the following types of milling cutters commonly used in general mold milling are introduced.
