The plunge milling method, also known as the Z-axis milling method, is one of the most effective processing methods for achieving high cutting rate metal cutting. For surface machining, grooving, and tooling with large tool hangs, the processing efficiency of…
With the booming development of cnc program for thread milling, especially the advent of 3-axis linkage CNC machining center, now CNC thread milling process is gradually gaining wide acceptance from mechanical processing industry. Besides, threads, as it’s commonly known,…
During NC programming, the programmer must determine the cutting dosage for each process and write it in the program as an instruction. Cutting dosage includes cutting speed, back engagement and feed speed. Different cutting dosages are required for different processing…
Currently widely used CNC machining tool materials include diamond tools, cubic boron nitride tools, ceramic tools, coated tools, carbide tools and high-speed steel tools. Types of cutting tool material There are many grades of tool materials, and their performance is also very…
When cutting metal, the tool cuts into the workpiece, and the tool angle is an important parameter used to determine the geometry of the cutting part of the tool. In order to understand lathe cutting tool angle straightforwardly, we start…
PVD and CVD are currently very common treatment for surface treatments on tools and molds. CVD is based on chemical vapor deposition, while PVD is based on physical vapor deposition, due to their differences in principle, resulting in their final…
How cutting heat is generated The cutting heat is generated in three deformation zones. During the cutting process, the metal deformation and friction in the three deformation zones are the root cause of the cutting heat. Most of the work…
Reasonable selection of tool geometry makes it possible to improve machining conditions, save machining time, improve machining efficiency, ensure the quality of the workpiece being machined, and extend the service life of the tool. Select the angle of the tool…
A drill bit is a tool used to drill through holes or blind holes in solid materials, usually in the range of 0.25 to 80 mm. Common drill bits mainly include twist drills, flat drills, center drills, and deep hole…
Carbide milling cutters are milling cutters made of cemented carbide. To understand the cemented carbide milling cutter, we must first know what is a hard alloy. The cemented carbide is based on the carbide (WC, TiC) micron powder of high…
1. The speed of the white steel knife cannot be too fast. 2. The copper work is thicker and less white steel knife, and more use of flying knife or alloy knife. 3. When the workpiece is too high, it…
Some CNC milling cutters that CNC machining must master, such as round nose knives, ball knives, etc. 1. Introduction of the tool CNC machining tools must adapt to the high speed, high efficiency and high degree of automation of CNC…
