What types of cutting tools do milling machines have?


Date:

23/06/25

Milling machine cutters include cylindrical milling cutters, face milling cutters, end milling cutters, three sided edge milling cutters, angle milling cutters, and saw blade milling cutters. 1. Cylindrical milling cutter Used for machining flat surfaces on horizontal milling machines. The cutter teeth are distributed on the circumference of the milling cutter and are divided into two types according to tooth shape: straight teeth and spiral teeth. According to the number of teeth, there are two types: coarse teeth and fine teeth. The spiral tooth coarse tooth milling cutter has a small number of teeth, high tooth strength, and large chip holding space, making it suitable for rough machining; Fine tooth milling cutters are suitable for precision machining. 2. Face milling cutter Used for vertical milling machines, end face milling machines, gantry milling machines, and upper machining flat surfaces. There are cutter teeth on the end face and circumference, as well as coarse and fine teeth. There are three types of structures: integral, toothed, and indexable. 3. End milling cutter Used for machining grooves, step surfaces, etc. The cutter teeth are on the circumference and end face, and cannot feed along the axial direction during operation. When there are end teeth passing through the center on the end milling cutter, it can be fed axially (usually referred to as a "keyway milling cutter" for double edge end milling cutters).
