Detailed explanation of Common Types of Milling cutters and Their applicable scenarios

Different types of milling cutter products correspond to different processing requirements. Only through precise matching can the best effect be achieved. End mills are the most versatile products. Their cutting edges cover both sides and ends, allowing for the milling of planes, grooves, and steps. They are suitable for multi-process processing of medium and small-sized parts and are the "universal tools" in mechanical processing workshops. The cutter head of the face milling cutter is relatively large, with a large number of evenly distributed teeth. It is dedicated to large-area planar milling, featuring high processing efficiency and good surface finish. It is often used for planar processing of large workpieces such as machine tool beds and boxes. The keyway milling cutter is designed with 2 teeth, featuring high precision of the cutting edge diameter. It is specifically used for processing keyways on shaft parts, with the cutting edge length precisely matching the depth of the keyway, ensuring the consistency of the groove width. The cutting edge of the ball-end mill is arc-shaped, which is suitable for processing complex contours such as curved surfaces and mold cavities. It can effectively prevent sharp corners from scratching the workpiece and is a core product in mold processing
