The cutting edge design and the number of cutting edges of the face milling cutter have an important influence on the machining results. The following are some detailed descriptions:
Edge design:
Edge geometry: The edge of a
face milling cutter can have different geometries, such as straight edge, spiral edge, blade wing, etc. Different geometries are suitable for different types of machining tasks. For example, helical edges provide a smoother cut and better chip evacuation, while fins are suitable for high-speed cutting.
Edge angle: The edge angle refers to the angle of inclination of the blade. A smaller edge angle provides a sharper edge for fine machining and high surface quality requirements; a larger edge angle is suitable for rough machining and higher cutting speeds.
Cutting Edge Radius: The cutting edge radius determines the cutting profile of a face milling cutter. Larger cutting edge radii are suitable for roughing and high feed rates, while smaller cutting edge radii are suitable for fine processing and higher surface quality requirements.
Number of blades:
Flute count refers to the number of cutting edges on a face milling cutter. More flutes, each relatively small, provide smoother cutting and better chip evacuation. At the same time, multi-flute face mills can achieve higher feed rates and higher productivity. However, too many edges may increase the cutting resistance, and the adaptability of the machine tool and cutting conditions should be considered.
The choice of cutting edge design and number of flutes usually depends on the specific processing requirements and workpiece material:
For high-speed cutting and high production efficiency requirements, face milling cutters with helical edges and multiple edges are usually selected.
Where higher surface quality and fine machining are required, face milling cutters with smaller edge radii and smaller edge angles are usually selected.
Different materials also require different edge designs and number of edges. For example, for difficult-to-machine materials, such as high-temperature alloys, special edge geometry and number of edges are usually used to improve cutting effect and life.
It is important to select the appropriate cutting edge design and number of flutes according to the specific processing needs, materials and machine conditions. For complex machining tasks, actual trial cuts and optimization may be required to obtain the best machining results. In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of the condition of the cutting edge is also a key factor in ensuring machining quality and tool life.
