MILLING CUTTER

Prepared By:- Prof. Varpe N. J.


MILLING CUTTER

A milling cutter is a special type of cutting tool which has multiple cutting edges.
There are many advantages of milling cutters compared to single point cutting tool.

1) High machining
2) Completes required machining operation in required time.
NOMENCLATURE OF MILLING CUTTER
MILLING CUTTER MATERIALS

High-Speed Steel:-
- Iron with additives
- Carbon: hardening agent
Cutter Characteristics:- - Tungsten and Molybdenum: enable steel to
- Harder than metal being retain hardness up to red heat
machined - Chromium: increases toughness and wear
- Strong enough to resistance
withstand cutting pressures - Vanadium: increases tensile strength
- Tough to resist shock - Used for most solid milling cutters
resulting from contact
- Resist heat and abrasion
of cutting
- Available in various sizes
Cemented-Carbide :-
and shapes
- Higher rates of production (3-10 times faster)
- Must select proper type of carbide
- Straight tungsten carbide: cast iron, plastics
- Tantalum carbide: low/medium-carbon steel
- Tungsten-titanium carbide:
high-carbon steel
MILLING CUTTER ARE OF DIFFERENT TYPES,THEY ARE CLASSIFIED BASED ON
VARIOUS FACTORS
1) Based on constructional features of the tooth of milling cutter
- Solid teeth milling cutter
- Inserted teeth milling cutter
- Tipped teeth milling cutter
2) According to the relief characteristics 
- Profile relieved milling cutter
- Form relieved milling cutter
3) Based on methods used for mounting
- Arbour type
- Facing type
- Shank type
4) According to the direction of rotation of cutter
- Right hand rotational milling cutter
- Left hand rotational milling cutter
5) According to the direction of helix
- Parallel or straight teeth milling cutter
- Right hand helical milling cutter
- Left hand helical milling cutter
- Alternate helical milling cutter
6) According to purpose or use of cutter
- Standard milling cutter
- Special milling cutter
THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF STANDARD MILLING CUTTERS SOME OF THEM
ARE:-
1) Plain milling cutter
- Light duty plain milling cutter
- Heavy duty plain milling cutter
- Helical plain milling cutter
2) Side milling cutter
- Plain side milling cutter
- Staggered teeth side milling cutter
- Half side milling cutter
- Interlocking side milling cutter
3) Metal slitting saw
- Plain metal slitting saw
- Staggered teeth metal slitting saw
4) Angle milling cutter
- Single angle milling cutter
- Double angle milling cutter
5) End mill
- Taper shank end mill
- Straight shank end mill
- Shell end mill
6) T-slot milling cutter 9) Formed cutter
7) Woodruff key slot milling cutter - Convex milling cutter
8) Fly cutter - Concave milling cutter
PLAIN MILLING CUTTER
- Once widely used
- Cylinder of high-speed steel with teeth

cut on periphery
- Used to produce flat surface
- Several types
- Light-duty
- Light-duty helical
- Heavy-duty
- High-helix

SIDE MILLING CUTTER

- Comparatively narrow cylindrical milling


cutters with teeth on each side and on periphery
- Used for cutting slots and
for face and straddle milling
operations
- Free cutting action at high
speeds and feeds
- Suited for milling deep,
narrow slots
FACE MILLING CUTTER
• Generally over 6 in. in diameter
- Have inserted teeth made of high-speed steel

head in place by wedging device


• Most cutting action occurs
at beveled corners and
periphery of cutter
• Makes roughing and
finishing cuts in one pass
END MILLING CUTTER

• Face milling cutters under 6 inch


• Solid, multiple-tooth
cutters with teeth on face and periphery
• Held on stub arbor
- May be threaded or use
key in shank to drive cutter
ANGULAR CUTTERS

-Teeth neither parallel nor perpendicular to cutting axis


- Used for milling angular surfaces
- Grooves, serrations, chamfers and reamer teeth
- Divided into two groups
- Single-angle milling cutters
- Double-angle milling cutters

- Single-angle - Double-angle
- Teeth on angular surface - Two intersecting angular surfaces
- May or may not have teeth on flat with cutting teeth on both
- 45º or 60º - Equal angles on both side of line
at right angle to axis
FORMED CUTTERS
- Incorporate exact shape of part to be produced
- Useful for production of small parts
- Each tooth identical in shape
- Sharpened by grinding tooth face (may have positive, zero or negative rake)
- Important to maintain original rake
- Difficult to sharpen

TYPES OF FORMED CUTTERS

Concave Convex Gear Tooth


METAL-SLITTING SAWS
-Basically thin plain milling cutters with sides relieved or "dished" to prevent
rubbing or binding when used
-Widths from 1/32 to 3/16 in.
-Operated at approximately 1/4 to 1/8 of feed per tooth used for other cutters
-Not advisable to key saw to milling arbor
-Backlash eliminator should be engaged
T-SLOT CUTTERS

- Have teeth on periphery and both sides


- Used for milling the wide groove of a T-slot
- In order to use them, a vertical groove must first be made with a slotting mill or
an end mill to provide a clearance for the shank
- T-slot cutter must be fed carefully.
T-SLOT MILLING CUTTER
DOVETAIL CUTTER

-Similar to single-angle milling cutter with integral shank


-Used to form sides of dovetail after tongue or groove machined
-Obtained with 45º, 50º, 55º, or 60º angles

ADVANTAGES OF MILLING CUTTER
1)The inserts rotate as they cut.
2) Faster cutting speeds allow faster feed rates.
3) Rotating inserts last longer
4) Interrupted cuts are no problem
5) Heat in the chip increases with efficiency
6) "Roll-Shearing" Eliminates breakout in cast iron parts.
7) There's less wear and tear on your machinery

DISADVANTAGES OF MILLING CUTTER

There are also disadvantages by employing a milling


cutter.
1) High cost
2) High cutting temperatures are generated
3) High maintenance cost
