How should the three flutes milling cutter be properly ground?

2022 03/17

The 3 flutes milling cutter is a standard machine tool. It is usually used in horizontal milling. Its shape is like eating "there is a round hole in the middle of the biscuits." Therefore, it is called a three-sided blade, and there are integral teeth. When in use, the tool is installed on the shank of horizontal milling, of course, it can also be installed on other machine tools, generally used for milling grooves and steps.

The 3flutes milling cutter has three cutting edges with relief angles, and the cutting edge is sharp and cutting lightly. Its shape is like eating "there is a round hole in the middle of the biscuits", its outer circle, and the two end faces near the outer circle have cutting edges, so it is called a three-sided edge. The main cutting edge of the three-sided milling cutter is distributed on the cylindrical surface of the milling cutter, and the secondary cutting edge is distributed on both ends. When in use, the cutter is installed on the shank of horizontal milling, of course, it can also be installed on other machine tools, generally used for milling grooves and steps.

The shape and use conditions of the three-sided milling cutter and the "end mill" are completely different. The three-sided milling cutter is called an end mill. The carbide three-sided milling cutter can be ground with a grinding machine. The mechanical tool grinder has a very good grinding effect. The disc type milling cutter is like a saw tooth at the outer diameter of the disc. In addition to processing steps and grooves, it is more suitable for applications.
