face milling

The face milling process can in principle produce very flat surfaces.

Tools optimized for face milling tend to have only small cutters at their end corners.

In face milling, the cutting action occurs primarily at the end corners of the milling cutter.

Jig borer Vertical mills that are built to bore holes, and very light slot or face milling.

Face milling is used to cut flat surfaces (faces) into the workpiece, or to cut flat-bottomed cavities.

Used for general purpose end milling and face milling operations, where larger diameters than shank type end mills are required.

In a precise face milling operation, the revolution marks will only be microscopic scratches due to imperfections in the cutting edge.

CNC mills have many functions including face milling, shoulder milling, tapping, drilling and some even offer turning.

End mills are used in milling applications such as profile milling, tracer milling, face milling, and plunging.

Fly cutters are analogous to face mills in that their purpose is face milling and their individual cutters are replaceable.

Multiple teeth distribute the chip load, and since the teeth are normally disposable carbide inserts, this combination allows for very large and efficient face milling.

His research interests consist of mathematical modeling/simulation of material removal processes and mathematical modeling of the end milling/face milling processes.

For example, face milling of gray cast iron with silicon nitride inserts doubled the cutting speed, increased tool life from one part to six parts per edge, and reduced the average cost of inserts by 50%, as compared to traditional tungsten carbide tools.

Within this broadest sense there are various specific types of facing, with the two most common being facing in the course of turning and boring work (facing planes perpendicular to the rotating axis of the workpiece) and facing in the course of milling work (for example, face milling).
