1、 Definition and Characteristics
A straight groove milling cutter is a type of milling cutter with a straight edge that can quickly remove materials. It usually has 2 to 6 blades, and the more blades there are, the faster the processing speed. Straight groove milling cutters are prone to vibration during the machining process, so their stability is not as good as spiral milling cutters. However, due to its relatively low price and ability to meet some processing needs that do not require high efficiency, it is still widely used.
2、 Material and Application
texture of material:
High speed steel: high hardness, good thermal stability, suitable for processing low hardness metal materials.
Hard alloy material: harder than high-speed steel, less prone to wear, commonly used for processing high hardness materials such as titanium alloys, high-speed steel, etc.
PCD material: an artificially synthesized product made of polymer and diamond micro powder, with advantages such as high hardness, high thermal stability, and high wear resistance, suitable for processing high hardness materials.
Purpose:
Straight groove milling cutters are commonly used for machining metal materials such as aluminum alloys, copper, stainless steel, etc. It can cut the surface of the workpiece into the desired shape and size, and is widely used in industries such as mechanical processing, mold manufacturing, and sheet metal processing.
Straight groove milling cutters are also commonly used in the woodworking field, such as cutting density boards, multi-layer solid wood, etc.
3、 Type and specifications
There are various types and specifications of straight groove milling cutters to meet different machining needs. Common types include double-edged straight groove milling cutters, single edged straight groove milling cutters, etc. In terms of specifications, the diameter, number of edges, and length of straight groove milling cutters can be customized according to specific processing needs.
4、 Usage and maintenance
use:
Before using a straight groove milling cutter, it is necessary to check whether the tool is intact and whether the cutting edge is sharp.
Select appropriate cutting parameters based on the hardness and thickness of the processed material, such as cutting speed, feed rate, etc.
During the machining process, the stability and accuracy of the tool should be maintained to avoid excessive vibration and wear.
maintain:
Regularly grind and repair straight groove milling cutters to maintain their sharpness and accuracy.
When storing, the cutting tools should be placed in a dry, ventilated, and non corrosive gas environment to avoid moisture, rust, or damage to the tools.
5、 Precautions
When choosing a straight groove milling cutter, multiple factors such as the hardness, wear resistance, and processing efficiency of the machining material should be comprehensively considered.
When using straight groove milling cutters, it is necessary to strictly follow safety operating procedures, wear protective equipment, and avoid accidents.
In case of tool damage or severe wear, new tools should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure machining quality and efficiency.
In summary, the straight groove milling cutter is a commonly used mechanical cutting tool with a wide range of application fields and important machining value. During use and maintenance, relevant regulations and operating procedures should be strictly followed to ensure its stability and accuracy.
