Forming slot milling cutter is a kind of mechanical cutting tool with groove cutting and milling function, which can be used to process various metal materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel and so on. It is characterized by the ability to quickly cut grooves and mill a variety of complex patterns, making machine processing more effective.

Structure

It is usually composed of a tool shank, a milling head, a cutting edge and a blade shank, of which the tool shank and the milling head are the main components of a forming slot milling cutter. The tool shank and milling head adopt an integrated design, which is easy to install and replace the head. The cutting edge and the blade handle are the cutting edge parts on the cutter head, which are responsible for realizing the cutting and milling function.

The use method can be divided into the following steps:

Ready to work. First of all, it is necessary to select the appropriate forming slot milling cutter, and check whether the cutter head, cutting edge, etc. are damaged or worn.

When installed. Insert the tool holder into the tool holder on the worktable, and tighten the nut to keep the milling head at a certain distance from the workpiece on the worktable.

Adjust the position and working speed of the forming slot milling cutter. The appropriate cutting speed and cutter head position can be set according to the material and processing difficulty of the workpiece.

Start processing. Start the machine to allow the forming slot cutter to start cutting and milling operations. After the processing is completed, the forming slot milling cutter should be cleaned and maintained in time.

Advantages and disadvantages

Forming slot milling cutter has the following advantages:

High processing efficiency. The cutting speed is fast and the processing efficiency is higher.

Various materials can be processed. Whether it is soft alloy or hard alloy, can use the forming slot milling cutter for processing.

High machining precision. The cutting effect is better, and the workpiece can be processed with higher precision.

However, some shortcomings, such as the process will produce more dust and noise, and the tool life is short, need to be replaced frequently.

Application areas

The application of forming slot milling cutter is very extensive. In the mold processing, machinery manufacturing, automotive repair, aerospace and other fields have very important applications. Especially in the field of automobile manufacturing, forming slot milling cutter is widely used in the processing of automobile parts, such as engine rotor, clutch, transmission and so on. Its excellent cutting efficiency and machining accuracy can greatly improve the quality and efficiency of auto parts.

Choosing the right forming slot milling cutter needs to pay attention to the following points:

Material. According to the different processing materials to choose the right, such as high-speed steel forming slot milling cutter, hard alloy forming slot milling cutter.

Dimensions. According to the size and requirements of the workpiece, select the appropriate forming slot milling cutter.

Cutting edge shape. The shape of the cutting edge of the forming slot milling cutter directly affects the shape and accuracy of the workpiece, so it is necessary to select the appropriate cutting edge shape according to the processing requirements.

As a mechanical tool, the forming slot milling cutter has many advantages, such as effective, high precision, multi-function, etc. In industrial production has a very wide range of applications, especially in the field of automobile manufacturing has a very important role. Therefore, it is very important to understand the structure, use method, advantages and disadvantages and selection method of the forming slot milling cutter.
