How to choose CNC cutting tools?

2017-03-14 17:34
  CNC cutting tools are tools used in mechanical manufacturing for cutting, also known as cutting tools. CNC cutting tools are an organic component of modern digital manufacturing technology. In modern high-efficiency cutting tools, from the perspective of foreign development, high-efficiency hard alloy cutting tools are the main product. Let's take a look at the selection of CNC cutting tools:
1. Surface roughness of machining: The surface roughness of machining affects the structural shape and cutting amount of the tool. For example, when rough milling of blanks, coarse tooth milling cutters can be used, while fine tooth milling cutters are more suitable for precision milling.

2. Machining accuracy: Machining accuracy affects the type and structural shape of precision machining tools. For example, after comparing holes, machining can be done using drills, reamers, or boring cutters based on the accuracy of the holes.

3. Workpiece material: The workpiece material will determine the selection of tool material and cutting geometry parameters, which are related to the machining accuracy, material hardness, etc. of the workpiece.

4. Production nature: Here, production nature refers to the batch size of parts, mainly considering the impact on tool selection from the perspective of processing costs. For example, using special cutting tools in mass production may be cost-effective, while choosing standard cutting tools is more suitable for single piece or small batch production.

5. Machine Tool Type: The influence of the CNC machine tool used to complete the process on the selected tool type (drill, turning tool, or milling cutter). Under the condition of ensuring good rigidity of the workpiece system and tool system, it is allowed to use high productivity tools, such as high-speed cutting turning tools and high feed rate turning tools.

6. CNC machining scheme: Different types of cutting tools can be used for different CNC machining schemes. For example, the processing of holes can be carried out using drills and reamers, as well as drills and boring cutters.

7. Size and shape of the workpiece: The size and shape of the workpiece also affect the selection of tool types and specifications, such as using special tools to process special surfaces.
