2. Milling cutters have many commonly used types according to uses:
1) Cylindrical milling cutter: used for machining plane on horizontal milling machine. The cutter teeth are distributed on the circumference of the milling cutter and are divided into straight teeth and spiral teeth according to the tooth shape. According to the number of teeth, there are thick teeth and fine teeth. The spiral tooth coarse tooth milling cutter has few teeth, high tooth strength and large chip holding space, which is suitable for rough machining. Fine tooth milling cutter is suitable for finish machining.
2) Face milling cutter: it is used for machining plane on vertical milling machine, end milling machine or gantry milling machine. There are cutter teeth on the end face and circumference, as well as coarse teeth and fine teeth. Its structure has three types: integral type, inlaid type and indexable type.
3) End mill: it is used to process grooves and step surfaces. The cutter teeth are on the circumference and end face, and cannot be fed along the axial direction during operation. When there is a broken tooth passing through the center on the end mill, it can be fed axially.
4) Three edge milling cutter: it is used to process various grooves and step surfaces. There are teeth on both sides and circumference.
5) Angle milling cutter: it is used for milling grooves with a certain angle, including single angle milling cutter and double angle milling cutter.
6) Saw blade milling cutter: it is used for machining deep grooves and cutting workpieces. There are many cutter teeth on its circumference. In order to reduce the friction during milling, there is a secondary deflection angle of 15’-1°on both sides of the cutter teeth. In addition, there are keyway milling cutter, dovetail groove milling cutter, T groove milling cutter and various forming milling cutters.
