What Are The Types Of CNC Cutter?

Cutter is an essential part in CNC machining. Cutters have many different types according to different classification methods. Let’s see.

Turning Tool

Turning tool is the most widely used tool in metal cutting. It can process the outer circle, end plane, thread and inner hole on the lathe, and can also be used for grooving and cutting. Turning tools can be divided into integral turning tools, welded assembly turning tools and turning tools with mechanically clamped blades. Turning tools for mechanically clamping blades can be divided into machine tool turning tools and indexable turning tools. The mechanical clamping turning tool has stable cutting performance and workers do not have to sharpen the tool, so it is more and more used in modern production.

Hole Machining Tool

Hole cutting tools can be generally divided into two categories: one is the cutting tool for machining holes from solid material, and the other is twist drill, center drill and deep hole drill. The another is the tool for reprocessing the existing hole on the workpiece. The commonly used tools are reamer tools and boring cutter.

Milling Cutter

Milling cutter is a widely used multi edge rotary cutter with many kinds. According to purpose:

1. For machining plane, such as cylindrical plane milling cutter, end milling cutter, etc;
2. For processing grooves, such as end milling cutter, T-shaped cutter and angle milling cutter;
3. For machining formed surfaces, such as convex semicircle and concave semicircle milling cutters and milling cutters for machining other complex formed surfaces. The productivity of milling is generally high, and the machined surface roughness value is large
