This tool is used for face milling. So what is face milling? It is the removal of portions of a workpiece. A face milling tool is used to achieve an excellent surface finish. At the sides of this tool, it has cutting edges that cut in a horizontal direction, as opposed to end mills that cut vertically. Also, a face mill tool is mainly used to cut the outside of the blank.
T-slot cutters feature teeth that are perpendicular to the outside diameter. Also known as woodruff cutters, these cutters are best known for cutting T-shaped slots into parts and workpieces. These types of milling cutters are ideal for cutting slots used for bolt heads and hanging brackets in wall panels.
These saws have applications across various industries due to their unique geometry and rigidity. However, industries like the automotive, precision engineering, and construction industries commonly use them to cut non-ferrous and steel materials. Here are the different types of metal slitting saw cutters.
These are CNC cutting tools with peripheral cutting edges only, with a concavity on the side to prevent cut dragging in.
This type of slitting saw possesses both side and peripheral teeth. This feature allows it to maintain a consistent cutting width when removing chips.
This is a slitting saw used to produce a true convex radius. This cutter applies a seamless and smooth semi-circular shape to workpieces.
It is ideal for applications where a high rate of stock removal is required. This slitting saw has teeth on the peripheral surface only.
Also known as a slab or surface milling cutter, this type of cuter has helical or straight teeth. Furthermore, its teeth cut on cylindrical or periphery mills flat surfaces parallel to the cutter axis. Plain milling cutters are ideal for small-scale projects and those requiring light milling work.
These milling tool plane surfaces use one or more single-point rotary tools. Similar to the lathe-cutting tool, manufacturers mount a fly-cutter tool on a special holder. It is also important to note that fly cutters are not ideal for heavy-duty cutting operations. Below are the different types of flyer cutters.
It features far-reaching needle-like points ideal for cutting densely packed corals. The cuts produced here are always clean and precise.
This tool’s primary purpose is carving hard materials. It finds application in carving wood and engraving on blown glass.
These mill-cutting tools cut through a material’s fabric without distorting the patterned cutting line. Some professionals employ this tool in cutting up to eight layers of material in one milling session.
