How to Address Milling Cutter Plastic Deformation and Excessive Flank Wear?

1. Introduction Milling cutters are core tools in machining, and their performance directly determines processing efficiency, workpiece quality, and production costs. Plastic deformation and rapid flank wear are two common and costly issues in milling operations. These problems not only shorten the service life of the cutter but also lead to poor surface finish of […]

Chipping of milling cutters is a common failure affecting production efficiency and product quality in mechanical processing. As typical failure modes, tool tip chipping, middle cutting edge chipping, and large-area chipping have significant differences in their causes. Accurately distinguishing the inducing factors of these three types of chipping is crucial for quickly troubleshooting problems and […]

Aluminum alloy is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and 3C manufacturing due to its light weight, high strength, and good formability. However, its inherent softness, low melting point, and strong adhesion pose significant challenges to milling operations—common issues include built-up edge (BUE), rapid tool wear, and poor surface finish. Diamond coatings have emerged as a […]

Hardness and toughness are mutually restrictive yet indispensable core properties of milling cutters. Hardness directly determines wear resistance and cutting precision, while toughness influences impact resistance and chipping resistance. In industrial machining, it is necessary to accurately determine the priority selection direction based on factors such as workpiece material, process requirements, and equipment conditions to […]

Many mechanical components feature internal bore grooves. Most annular grooves are positioned close to the entrance of the hole, such as snap ring grooves or seal grooves. The most common method for machining internal grooves is radial grooving. Grooving and parting represent a distinct category within turning applications, widely used across various machining scenarios and […]

Vibration in milling can occur due to limitations of cutting tools, tool holders, machine tools, workpieces, or fixtures. To minimize vibration, several strategies should be considered. 1. Cutting Tools (1) For face milling, the direction of cutting forces must be considered: When using a 90° milling cutter, cutting forces are mainly radial. This causes tool […]

This document provides a comprehensive overview of essential function codes used in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programming. These codes, including F, S, T, and M, control critical aspects of the machining process such as feed rates, spindle speeds, tool selection, and auxiliary functions. F Function: Feed Rate Control The F code is used to command […]

During the machining process, vibration and tool chatter are common issues. These problems lead to chatter marks on the workpiece surface, as well as increased rework and scrap rates. Today, saimotools has compiled 12 methods to reduce cutting vibrations in CNC milling machines. 01 Use Sharp Inserts to Reduce Cutting Force Indexable inserts are divided […]

Ball nose end mills are versatile tools used for machining complex geometries and achieving smooth surface finishes. However, selecting the correct feeds and speeds is crucial for optimal performance and tool life. Here are some guidelines for determining the appropriate feeds and speeds for ball nose end mills: Factors Affecting Feeds and Speeds Workpiece Material: […]

Tungsten carbide drill bits are highly effective for drilling hardened steel due to their exceptional hardness and durability. Here are the key requirements and characteristics for tungsten carbide drill bits used in such applications: Material and Composition Hardness: Tungsten carbide has a hardness value of around 1600HV, making it significantly harder than steel. This allows […]
