Is the end mill the end mill?

Is the end mill the end mill?

Answer:

There is a difference between a flat and a vertical mill.
Yes. The commonly used vertical milling cutter, flat knife, knife round nose, nose knife, R knife
A flat milling cutter is one of the end mills.There are many kinds of milling cutters. Common milling machines and CNC milling machines can be machined with straight lines, milling centers, machining cavities, cores, and curved surfaces / contours.The milling cutter is roughly divided into:1. flat milling cutter, milling or rough milling, milling groove, to remove a large number of rough, small area, horizontal plane or contour milling;2. ball end mill for surface finish milling and fine milling. The knife can be used to finish milling the small chamfer of the steep surface / straight wall.3. round nose milling cutter has rough surface milling with smaller surface change, less narrow sag area and relatively flat area.4. flat milling cutter with chamfering, can do rough milling to remove a lot of rough, but also fine milling, fine surface (relative to the steep surface), small chamfer.5. forming milling cutter, including chamfering cutter, T shape milling cutter or drum type cutter, gear cutter, inner R knife.6. chamfer knife, chamfer knife shape and chamfer shape are identical, divide into milling circle, chamfer and slant chamfer milling cutter.7.T type cutter can be milled with T groove;8. gear cutters, milling out various tooth types, such as gears.9. rough skin knife, aiming at the design of Al Cu alloy cutting rough milling cutter, can be processed rapidly.Milling cutters are commonly made of two kinds of materials: high speed steel and hard alloy. The latter is the former high hardness, strong cutting force, can improve the speed and feed rate, improve productivity, let the knife is not obvious, and the processing of stainless steel / titanium alloy hard processing materials, but the cost is higher, and easy in cutting force rapidly alternating case.
