How to choose suitable cutting tools for CNC machine tools? Choosing the appropriate cutting tool is an important part of CNC machining. Choosing it well not only ensures the machining efficiency of the machine tool, but also ensures that the machining quality of the parts does not decrease or even improve. As the saying goes, sharpening the tool does not harm the woodcutter.

How to choose suitable cutting tools for CNC machine tools? Choosing the appropriate cutting tool is an important part of CNC machining. Choosing it well not only ensures the machining efficiency of the machine tool, but also ensures that the machining quality of the parts does not decrease or even improve. As the saying goes, sharpening the tool does not harm the woodcutter.


How to choose suitable cutting tools for CNC machine tools? Compared with traditional machining methods, CNC machining has more accurate accuracy and higher power, so the requirements for CNC machining tools are also higher, including accuracy, rigidity, durability, size, installation and adjustment. Choosing CNC cutting tools not only considers one's own quality, but also the shape, hardness, and machine condition of the processed parts.


How to choose suitable cutting tools for CNC machine tools? CNC machine tools should consider the following aspects:


(1) Consider the cutting performance of machined parts. For example, when turning high-strength steel, titanium alloy, and stainless steel parts, it is recommended to choose indexable hard alloy tools with good wear resistance.


(2) The processing stage of the part. Select the conditions including rough machining and precision machining. The rough machining stage refers to the process of taking care of tree branches by first removing additional branches. Faster and harder cutting tools should be selected. The semi precision machining and precision machining stages are like polishing the tree landscape, not only for aesthetics, but also for precision carving. High durability and precision cutting tools should be selected. If the rough and precision machining tools are the same, it is recommended to use tools that have been eliminated during rough machining, The eliminated cutting tools for precision machining may have damaged the blade area, worn and polished coatings, and continued use may affect the machining quality of precision machining, but the impact on rough machining is relatively small.

(3) Select according to the processing area and the shape of the processing position. In production, the processing of the contour around flat parts often uses end mills; When milling flat surfaces, a hard alloy blade milling cutter should be selected; When machining protrusions and grooves, use high-speed steel end mills; When processing rough surfaces or rough holes, corn milling cutters with carbide blades can be selected; Ball end milling cutters, circular milling cutters, conical milling cutters, and disc milling cutters are often used for the processing of some three-dimensional surfaces and variable bevel contour shapes.


On the machining center, all tools are pre installed first, so choose the appropriate tool handle so that the CNC machining tools can be quickly and accurately installed on the machine spindle or returned to the tool library.
