End milling cutter is a tool widely used in the field of machining, mainly used for milling, cutting and engraving metal surfaces. The following are the main uses of end mills:
1, milling: end milling cutter is mainly used for milling planes, bevels, grooves and so on. By adjusting the Angle and axial pressure of the tool, the depth and width of the milling can be controlled to achieve the required machining accuracy.
2, cutting: end milling cutter can also be used to cut metal materials, such as steel, cast iron, copper, etc. In the cutting process, the sharpness of the tool and the cutting speed will affect the processing efficiency and quality.
3, engraving: end milling cutter can also be used to carve text, patterns and marks. By adjusting the Angle and axial pressure of the tool, various shapes and depths can be carved on the metal surface.
4, roughing: end milling cutter can be used for roughing, remove a lot of materials, create conditions for subsequent finishing. When roughing, large cutting depth and feed speed are usually used to improve processing efficiency.
5, finishing: End milling cutter can also be used for finishing to obtain higher processing accuracy and surface quality. When finishing, a small cutting depth and feed speed are usually used to avoid overcutting and surface roughness.
6, marking marks: end milling cutter can be used to mark a specific mark or text on the metal surface, such as product number, production date, etc. By adjusting the Angle of the tool and the axial pressure, the depth of the cut and the font size can be controlled.
7, slope milling: slope milling refers to a processing method of milling along the inclined plane. End mills can be used for slope milling to obtain the desired bevel shape and size.
8, drilling: end milling cutter can also be used for drilling, such as drilling, reaming, reaming and so on. By drilling into the workpiece, the desired parameters such as aperture, depth and perpendicularity can be obtained.
9, chamfer: end milling cutter can be used to chamfer the edge of the workpiece. Chamfering can remove burrs, acute angles, etc., and improve the appearance quality and safety of the workpiece.
10, clear Angle processing: in some complex workpiece processing process, it is necessary to remove the excess material in the corner. End mills can be used for Angle cleaning to obtain the desired corner shape and dimensions.
11, mold processing: end milling cutter in mold processing has a wide range of applications, such as injection mold, die casting mold, etc. By roughing, finishing and lettering the die with the end mill, high-quality die surfaces and accurate dimensions can be obtained.
12, other applications: In addition to the above common uses, the end mill can also be applied to some other special occasions, such as carving the text and patterns of artworks, engraving on non-metallic materials such as glass.
In short, as an important machining tool, end milling cutter has a wide range of applications. By selecting the appropriate end mill type, material and cutting parameters, we can meet different processing needs and improve processing efficiency and quality.
