4 flute vs5flute end mill

Metal 3D printing has been a popular modern technology in prototype and product development. The reason is apparent. It is a powerful amalgamation of the

Selective laser sintering is a 3D printing technology. It uses a high-power laser to fuse material particles into solid objects in complex layers. This process

Many people wonder whether it is better to use 2 flute milling cutter or 4 flute milling cutter when milling steel parts? What’s the difference between these two kinds of end mills?

End mill flutetypes

This is mainly to see the situation, 2 flute end mill chip space, the relative strength of the tool is not enough. Small and closed space is more suitable. Therefore, the keyway cutter for milling keyway is 2 fluted.

In addition, the shorter the flute, the greater the rigidity of the tool body, and the better the cutting performance. The rigidity of the end mill is inversely proportional to the third power of the edge length.

In the ever-evolving world of aerospace manufacturing, staying at the forefront of technology is paramount. Aerospace fabrication shops and aerospace engineering shops worldwide are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the quality of aerospace components.

Therefore, if the flute length (overhanging length) is doubled, the rigidity of the cutter body will be reduced to 1 / 8 of the original.

In addition to the end mill of milling steel parts, we also provide inserts for milling steel parts and turning steel parts. Welcome to consult.

The 3 flute end mill is mostly used for milling aluminum. The chip removal space is large and it is not easy to stick the cutter.

Generally speaking, if the number of cutting flutes is small and the chip holding groove is large, the chip can be discharged smoothly, but at the same time, the cross-sectional area of the tool is small, the rigidity of the tool body is low, and the tool body is prone to bend in cutting.

On the contrary, with the increase of the number of cutting flute and the cross-sectional area of the tool, the rigidity of the tool body will be improved, but the chip holding groove will be smaller, and the chip holding force will be reduced, which will easily lead to chip blockage and reduce the surface finish of the workpiece.

● A milling machine can be used to create a variety of gears. ● In most cases, it’s utilized to make slots or grooves in workpieces. ● It has the ability to process both flat and uneven surfaces. ● It is used in the manufacturing industry to create complex shapes.
