What's the difference between a milling cutter and a blade?

Answer:

A tool that is used for turning and cutting parts. A lathe tool is one of the most widely used knives in machining. Working part of the lathe tool is a portion of production and the processing chip, including the blade, the structure of the chip broken broken or volume approach, chip removal, or should the storage space of the chip, cutting fluid channels such as structural elements.
The blade of a car has a positive front Angle and groove for cutting, while the milling cutter is usually high speed press cutting, the blade usually has no groove, and the front Angle is installed.
There's a big difference between a milling cutter and a car knife. Below with vertical milling cutter as example, the vertical milling cutter is no blade, just in the face with the main cutting edge profile have a cutting edge, shape like a bit, but the end face of the milling cutter is not sharp but flat, and there's a kind of end milling cutter and vertical milling cutter section under similar is particularly large diameter, face under end milling cutter is replaceable blade; The blade of a lathe blade is much thicker, most of which is hard alloy. Cutter and cutting tool material is not the same, just as ordinary milling cutter with carbide blade, better milling cutter with high-speed tool just better, their heat treatment process is not the same, often cutter blade has the better mechanical properties.
Milling cutter is a rotating cutter with one or more blade teeth for milling. At work, each blade of the knife cuts the amount of the workpiece intermittently. The milling cutter is mainly used in milling machine to process planes, steps, grooves, forming surfaces and cutting off workpieces.
