Types of metal cutters and their purposes

For this, various profile machines are used that quickly and efficiently process iron or cast iron workpieces. Specific processing of parts is carried out with the support of milling equipment, which is characterized by quite high variability.

Classification of cutters for metal and their purpose.

There are 10 forms of milling equipment, each of which has its own purpose and is used to solve a specific problem:

Disk. Once the most popular type of cutting tool. With their support, parts are trimmed, grooves are cut, chamfers are removed. The working (cutting) level can be applied, for example, on both sides, which allows the use of this equipment on all types of milling machines. There are suitable shapes of disc cutters:

• Grooved;
• Cutting;
• slotted;
• Double (necessary for processing parts from several sides).

This image metal cutters can be used in the most difficult conditions, when real removal of iron filings is impossible or difficult.

Cylindrical. Similar cutters are used for processing large iron parts. In total, cylindrical devices with helical and straight teeth are distinguished. For simple operations, a tool with straight teeth is used. For complex and high-quality operations, shaped teeth are suitable.

End. They are used for processing flat plane parts. As a rule, such edits are made of durable materials and are characterized by the highest performance. The main personality of such a tool is the huge number of teeth and, as a result, the regularity of processing, including the hardest metal.

Worm. Perhaps, exclusively specific equipment for everyone who has to. Gaps are processed in progress. The correct shapes of hob cutters are manufactured:

• Left;
• Rights;
• One or a large number of profits;
• Ready or whole;
• With polished teeth.

All of the listed device accessories are used to create complex and multi-level parts.

End. If you need to machine a ledge or groove, then an end tool comes in handy. There are end mills with coarse teeth (initial processing) and fine teeth (final processing).

Roughing. They were specially made for this purpose, in order to luxuriously process workpieces acquired using casting or hand forging.

Edged. As the name suggests, this type of router is used to trim the gap. This extremely conventional equipment contains a cutting edge only on the upper face surfaces.
