Precautions when using a double-edged mill

When using a double-edged mill, in order to ensure machining quality and tool life, the following are some things to pay attention to:

  1. Selection of cutting parameters: It is crucial to choose the right cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth. These parameters need to be adjusted according to factors such as machining material, tool type and workpiece requirements to obtain the best cutting results and extend tool life.
  2. Correct installation of the tool: Ensure that the double-edge milling cutter is correctly installed on the machine tool and fastened and stable. Avoid tool loosening or vibration, which can affect machining accuracy and tool life.
  3. Fixing of the workpiece: Before processing, ensure that the workpiece is firmly fixed on the machine tool to prevent the workpiece from moving or flying out. This can avoid accidents and ensure machining accuracy.
  4. The use of cutting fluid: The rational use of cutting fluid can help reduce the cutting temperature, reduce tool wear, and improve cutting efficiency. Select the appropriate cutting fluid according to the processing requirements and ensure that it is in sufficient supply.
  5. Maintenance and maintenance of the tool: regularly check the wear of the double-edge milling cutter, and find that the worn or damaged blade should be replaced or repaired in time. Keep the tool clean to avoid debris and debris attached to the blade, affecting the cutting effect.
  6. Safe operation: During the operation, comply with the safe operation procedures to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Avoid using a double-edged mill unattended or improperly operated to avoid accidents.

Following the above considerations can help you achieve better machining results and extend tool life when using a double-edge mill. At the same time, it also helps to improve production efficiency and reduce processing costs.

Three kinds of materials: high-speed steel, tungsten steel and diamond in milling cutter manufacturing advantages and disadvantages.


Milling cutter raw material comparison: high speed steel, carbide and diamond
In the manufacturing industry, the milling cutter is a very important tool and is widely used in various cutting processes. The quality and performance of the milling cutter depends on the choice of its raw material. At present, the raw materials of milling cutters mainly include high-speed steel, cemented carbide and diamond. Below we will conduct a detailed comparative analysis of these three materials.

High speed steel is a tool steel with high cobalt content, which is widely used in the manufacture of cutting tools because of its high hardness and wear resistance. High speed steel milling cutter has good heat treatment process performance, can maintain high hardness at high temperature, thus improving its cutting performance. In addition, high-speed steel also has good toughness and strength, and can withstand large cutting forces. However, the disadvantage of high-speed steel is that it is easy to oxidize and wear, requiring frequent replacement and maintenance.

Tungsten carbide (tungsten steel) is an alloy material composed of tungsten, cobalt, titanium and other elements, because of its excellent wear resistance and heat resistance and is widely used in the manufacture of milling cutters. Tungsten steel milling cutter has high hardness, high strength and high wear resistance, which can maintain good cutting performance when cutting at high speed and machining high hardness materials. In addition, tungsten steel also has good chemical stability and reliability, long service life, low maintenance costs. Compared with high-speed steel, tungsten steel has better thermal fatigue resistance and longer service life. Although the price of tungsten steel is slightly higher than that of high-speed steel, its excellent performance and long life make it a cost-effective choice.

Diamond is a kind of superhard material, which is widely used in machining various hard materials and precision machining fields. Diamond milling cutters have extremely high hardness, wear resistance and heat resistance, and can perform well in machining materials with high hardness, precision and high surface quality. The cutting speed of diamond milling cutter is fast, the processing efficiency is high, and the surface smoothness after processing is very high. However, the price of diamond is very expensive, and its processing and maintenance costs are relatively high. Therefore, diamond milling cutter is more suitable for special high-end applications.

In summary, high-speed steel, cemented carbide (tungsten steel) and diamond each have their advantages and disadvantages. When selecting milling cutter raw materials, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific application needs and processing conditions. For general applications, tungsten steel is a very cost-effective choice, with high hardness, high wear resistance, long life and low maintenance costs. For special high-end applications, diamond is more advantageous, but it needs to pay attention to its high price and cost.

Four-edge coated milling cutter


A four-edge coated milling cutter is a common type of milling cutter with four cutting edges, usually used for milling machining. The cutting edge of the coated milling cutter is coated with one or more layers of wear-resistant material to improve cutting efficiency and extend service life.

The four-edge coated milling cutter is suitable for machining various materials, such as steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, etc., especially for machining various complex parts and surfaces. Due to its fast cutting speed and large cutting depth, the processing efficiency can be greatly improved.

When using a four-edge coated milling cutter, it is necessary to pay attention to the installation and adjustment of the tool to ensure that the concentricity, perpendicularity and rigidity of the tool and the machine spindle meet the requirements. At the same time, it is also necessary to select the appropriate cutting parameters according to different processing materials and process requirements, such as cutting speed, cutting depth and feed speed.

In short, the four-edge coated milling cutter is an efficient, high-precision, high-reliability milling tool, which is widely used in the field of machining.
