End mills are widely used. They are mainly used in various milling processes, especially in the following aspects:
Plane milling: End mills can efficiently mill planes. Whether it is a large-area plane or a small-area local plane, it can be completed by end mills.
Groove milling: When slotting or digging holes on the workpiece, the end mill can accurately mill the required groove shape and size.
Step surface milling: When it is necessary to machine a step surface on the workpiece, the end mill can achieve accurate machining of the step surface by cutting layer by layer.
Profiling milling: For workpieces with complex shapes, the end mill can perform profiling milling according to the predetermined trajectory to achieve accurate replication and machining of the workpiece.
Side machining: The side edge of the end mill can be used for side machining of the workpiece, such as machining right-angle edges, bevel edges, etc.
Slot machining: End mills play an important role in slot machining and can machine slots of various shapes and sizes, such as T-slots, U-slots, etc.
Surface machining: By using ball-end end mills or round nose end mills, you can achieve precise surface machining, such as machining cams, concave molds and other complex surfaces.
In addition, end mills can also be used for machining operations such as drilling, reaming, countersinking, and shape machining through spiral machining or cycloidal machining. In short, end mills are an indispensable tool in CNC machining. Their wide range of uses and efficient machining capabilities make them important in the field of mechanical machining.
