Milling Cutters

Common Milling Cutter Types

• Surface Machining
• Slotting
• Form/Stepped Faces
• Peripheral and Face Milling
• Circular Interpolating
• Straddle Milling

Key Features of Milling Cutters

• Flutes/Teeth - Varying numbers of teeth for faster material removal (2, 3, 4 teeth common).
• Helix Angle - Helps reduce vibration for better surface finish and tool life.
• Center Cutting - Some cutters allow plunge cutting for versatility.
• Coatings - Options like Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) for wear resistance, or TiAlN for aluminium applications.
• Shank Types - Round or Weldon flat for secure and accurate mounting.
