Classification and different properties of End Mill Cutter

Expert in End Mill Cutter - Echaintool Precision Co., Ltd. tells you the classification and different characteristics of End Mill Cutter.
Our End Mill Cutter products have been unanimously recognized by our customers with strict production technology and excellent quality!
There are many shapes of milling cutters, which are used for ordinary milling machines and CNC milling machines to process grooves and straight contours, and to process cavities, cores, and surface shapes/contours on milling and boring machining centers.
Milling cutters are generally divided into:
1. Flat end milling cutter: perform fine milling or rough milling, milling grooves, removing a large number of blanks, small area horizontal plane or contour fine milling;
2. Ball end milling cutter: for semi-finishing and finish milling of curved surfaces; the small cutter can finish milling small chamfers on steep surfaces/straight walls.
3. Round nose milling cutter: rough milling with less surface change, less narrow concave areas and more relatively flat areas.
4. Flat end milling cutter: with chamfer, it can do rough milling to remove a large amount of blanks, and can also finely mill small chamfers on fine flat surfaces (relative to steep surfaces).
5. Forming milling cutter: including chamfering cutter, T-shaped milling cutter or drum cutter, tooth cutter, inner R cutter.
6. Chamfering cutter: The shape of the chamfering cutter is the same as that of the chamfering, and it is divided into milling cutters for rounding and chamfering.
7. T-shaped knife: can mill T-shaped groove.
8. Tooth type cutter: Milling various tooth types, such as gears.
9. Rough skin cutter: Rough milling cutter designed for aluminum-copper alloy cutting, which can be processed quickly.
There are two common materials for milling cutters: high-speed steel and cemented carbide. Compared with the former, the latter has high hardness and strong cutting force, which can increase the speed and feed rate, improve productivity, make the knife less obvious, and process difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel and titanium alloys, but the cost is higher, and the cutting force changes rapidly. It is easy to break the knife.
