The end mill cutter, which is the most commonly used milling cutter on CNC machine tools, has cutting edges on both the cylindrical surface and the end face. It can perform simultaneous or separate cutting operations. It is mainly used for flat milling, groove milling, step surface milling, and contour milling.<\/p>\n

Flute number<\/h1>\n

The number of cutting edges on an end mill cutter mainly includes 2-flute, 3-flute, 4-flute, 6-flute, and other types. The number of flutes is related to the size of the chip pocket area for collecting the chips. The chip pocket is a groove for temporarily storing the chips. If we consider the rotating cylindrical profile of the end mill cutter as 100%, the chip pocket areas for various numbers of flutes are shown in the diagram below.<\/p>\n

\"Schaftfr\u00e4ser\"<\/p>\n

Proportion of the cross-sectional area of the chip holding tank<\/p>\n

As the number of flutes increases, the chip pocket area gradually decreases while the cutting edge area increases, leading to improved rigidity. The characteristics and applications of an milling cutter depend on the number of flutes. (Refer to the table below)<\/p>\n

Schneidenl\u00e4nge<\/h1>\n

When installing an mill cutter on a tool holder for machining, deflection as shown in the diagram can occur due to cutting resistance. The deflection is directly proportional to the cutting resistance and, more specifically, proportional to the cube of the length (overhang) from the end mill cutter to the tool holder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deflection of end milling cutter<\/h1>\n

To improve the perpendicularity of the machined surface, which refers to the surface deformation of the machined surface, it is necessary to reduce deflection. This can be achieved by minimizing the overhang of the mill cutter, which means using an end mill cutter that is slightly longer than the length of the machining portion.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the cutting edge length of a mill cutter is generally categorized as follows:<\/p>\n

a.Extra-short<\/p>\n

b. Short<\/p>\n

c. Medium<\/p>\n

d. Medium-long<\/p>\n

e. Long<\/p>\n

f. Extra-long<\/p>\n

helix angle<\/h1>\n

The spiral direction of an end mill cutter is generally right-hand spiral. When using it, the rotation is in a clockwise direction when viewed from the installation side (the side of the tool holder) – this is referred to as right-hand rotation. Cutting tools that rotate in a right-hand direction are called right-hand tools, while those that rotate counterclockwise (left-hand rotation) are called left-hand tools. The mill cutters discussed in this chapter are right-hand tools with a right-hand spiral.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Left Blade Left Spiral Left 30 \u00b0 and Right Blade Right Spiral Left 30 \u00b0<\/p>\n

The helix angle of a mill cutter is generally 30\u00b0. A smaller helix angle results in poorer cutting sharpness, while a larger helix angle provides better cutting sharpness. However, increasing the helix angle can also increase the axial force in the direction of tool retreat, which may lead to tool dislocation. The characteristics and applications of end mill cutters with different helix angles are shown in the table below:<\/p>\n
