A side milling cutter is a cutting tool for groove milling, side cutting, slot machining, fresamento de cantos a 90 graus, and side surface machining. Manufacturers use it on milling machines and CNC machining centers when a workpiece needs stable side cutting or accurate groove width.
Compared with a standard end mill, a side milling cutter is often better for wider grooves, side faces, ombros, and special slotting operations. Portanto, it is suitable for fixture parts, mold components, machinery parts, automotive parts, and custom CNC metal parts.
Cutterbest supplies carbide side milling cutters in different diameters, cutting widths, contagens de flauta, revestimentos, and custom designs. Além disso, we can support custom side milling cutter production based on your drawing, material, machine, e requisitos de corte.
What Is a Side Milling Cutter?
A side milling cutter is a rotary milling tool that cuts with its side teeth and outer cutting edges. It is mainly used to machine grooves, slots, ombros, and side surfaces.
Many manufacturers choose side milling cutters when a standard end mill is not the best choice for the groove width, side cutting area, or machining stability. Como resultado, this tool is useful for fixture plates, machine parts, mold components, and other precision metal parts.
