Frese di precisione,Utensili da taglio per la lavorazione CNC di ogni materiale
In CNC machining, both 2-flute and 4-flute end mills are essential tools. Though similar in appearance, choosing wrong can impact efficiency and costs. We’ll break down their differences in structure, applications, and selection.
Core Differences
| Caratteristica | 2-Fresa per flauto | 4-Fresa per flauto |
|---|---|---|
| Chip Space | Large | Small |
| Evacuazione dei trucioli | Excellent (aluminum/plastics) | Limited (prone to clogging) |
| Cutting Edges | 2 | 4 |
| Tasso di avanzamento | Lower | Higher |
| Finitura superficiale | Good | Excellent |
| Best Materials | Alluminio, wood, soft plastics | Acciaio, acciaio inossidabile, hard plastics |
| Best Operations | Deep slots, roughing | Finissaggio, thin walls |
1. Structural Differences
Cutting Edges
2-flauto:
- Wider cutting edges
- Better for material removal
4-flauto:
- Double the edges
- Higher feed capability
Evacuazione dei trucioli
- 2-flauto: 50% more space
Prevents clogging with gummy materials
- 4-flauto: Compact design
For short-chipping metals only
2. Material Selection Guide
| Materiale | Strumento consigliato | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum/Wood | 2-flauto | Prevents chip welding |
| Acciaio/ghisa | 4-flauto | Better heat dissipation |
| Titanium/Alloys | Test both | Coating-dependent performance |
3. Performance Comparison
| Parametro | 2-Flauto | 4-Flauto |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Roughness | Ra 3.2-6.3μm | Ra 1.6-3.2μm |
| Gamma di velocità | 800-3,000 RPM | 1,500-5,000 RPM |
4. 3-Step Selection
Step 1: Check Material
- Soft (HB<200) → 2-flute
- Hard (HB≥200) → 4-flute
Step 2: Tipo di operazione
- Roughing → 2-flute
- Finishing → 4-flute
Step 3: Potenza della macchina
- Low power → 2-flute
- High-speed CNC → 4-flute
Cost Analysis
2-flauto:
- Lower initial cost
- Replace when worn
4-flauto:
- Higher upfront cost
- Can be reground
Summary
2-flute end mills excel in aluminum/soft materials with superior chip evacuation, while 4-flute versions deliver better finishes on steel/hard materials. Choose based on material hardness, operation type (roughing vs finishing), and machine capability. Always test critical applications
