What is a Milling cutter?

A milling cutter, also called a face mill or face mill, is a tool that is attached to a machine tool to rotate a blade and cut a workpiece on a table. Since the range of cutting at one time is wider than that of other cutting tools, it is possible to cut efficiently by cutting a wide flat surface or side surface at once. Milling cutters are almost indispensable cutting tools for metal processing because they often start by cutting a flat surface in various workpieces.

Application of Milling cutter

Since the area to be machined at one time is large, it is used for surface machining such as flat surface, side surface, and stepped machining, and can be machined with high surface accuracy. Generally, since the diameter of the blade is large, multiple chips (blades) are evenly provided around the circumference. Since the number of chips, outer diameter, and blade mounting angle differ depending on the type, even when machining flat surfaces, it is often the case that multiple milling cutters are used together, so select the appropriate cutter depending on the location when machining. need to do it.
