Selection of Cutting Tools for CNC Grinding Machine Machining Centers

The tools chosen vary depending on their intended use. How to choose suitable cutting tools for CNC grinding machine machining centers? Choosing the appropriate cutting tools can not only ensure the stability of machining, but also improve machining efficiency. Machining centers are widely used in industries such as tooling and mold production, mechanical parts processing, handicraft carving, medical device manufacturing, education and training. The tools selected for different purposes are also different. Choosing the appropriate cutting tools can not only ensure the stability of machining, but also improve machining efficiency. Next, I will introduce several tools for you to use in different processing scenarios.

1-face milling cutters are mainly used for machining flat and stepped surfaces on vertical milling machines. The main blade of the face milling cutter is distributed on the cylindrical surface of the milling cutter or the conical surface of the circular machine tool, and the secondary blade is distributed on the end face of the milling cutter. Face milling cutters can be divided into integral face milling cutters, hard alloy integral welding face milling cutters, hard alloy machine clamping face milling cutters, and hard alloy transposition face milling cutters.

Cylindrical milling cutters are mainly used for machining flat surfaces on horizontal milling machines. The cylindrical milling cutter of a CNC grinder is usually integrated. The milling cutter rod is made of high-speed steel, with the main cutting edge distributed on the cylindrical surface and no secondary cutting edge. Milling cutters are divided into coarse milling cutters and fine milling cutters. Coarse toothed milling cutters have fewer teeth. High tooth strength, large chip holding space, and multiple regrinding times, suitable for rough machining. The precision milling cutter has a large number of teeth, works smoothly, and is suitable for precision machining.

The keyway milling cutter is mainly used for machining circular end closed and high-speed machining center slots on vertical milling machines. Explanation: The shape of the milling cutter is like an end mill, with no central hole on the end face. The end face milling cutter opens from the outer ring to stop the core, with a small helix angle, which improves the strength of the end face milling cutter. The cutting edge on the tooth surface is the main cutting edge, and the cutting edge on the cylindrical surface is the secondary cutting edge. When machining keyways, feed a small amount axially to the milling cutter and then feed radially. Repeating this multiple times, the machine tool can complete the machining of the keyway.
