What Are Milling Machine Cutting Tools?
Milling machine cutting tools are rotating consumables designed to remove material from workpieces via helical cutting edges. Critical for CNC and manual mills, they process metals (steel/aluminum/titanium), composites, and plastics. Key types include:
- End Mills: For slotting, profiling, and 3D contouring.
- Face Mills: High-efficiency surface finishing.
- Ball Nose Cutters: Precision curved surface machining.
These tools directly determine machining accuracy, cycle time, and per-part cost.
Core Advantages
⚙️ Durability: 3X Longer Tool Life
- Carbide Substrate + Nano-Coating: TiAlN/AlCrN coatings resist heat (800°C+) and abrasion.
- PVD Diamond Coating: For composites/CFRP (5X life vs. carbide).
🔇 Ultimate Stability: ±0.01mm Accuracy
- Variable Helix (35-45°): Reduces chatter in deep-pocket milling.
- Unequal Pitch Design: Eliminates harmonics on thin-wall aerospace parts.
⚡ High Productivity: 40% Faster HSM
- Deep Chip Gullets: Prevent chip packing at 40,000 RPM.
- High-Pressure Coolant Channels: Direct fluid to cutting edges for 30% lower temperatures.
