T-Slot Milling Cutter

T-Slot milling cutters are cutting tools used in machine tools, specifically in metalworking machinery. They are part of the supply class "Cutting Tools For Machine Tools" in the supply group "Metalworking Machinery."

T-Slot milling cutters are designed to create T-shaped slots or grooves in workpieces. These slots are commonly used for mounting and securing components in various applications, such as in machine tool tables, workholding fixtures, and jigs.

The T-Slot milling cutter features a cylindrical shank with multiple cutting edges, typically made of high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide. The cutting edges are shaped to form the desired T-shaped slot when the cutter rotates and moves across the workpiece.

These milling cutters come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different slot dimensions and machine requirements. They can be used on milling machines, machining centers, and other metalworking equipment capable of performing milling operations.

When using T-Slot milling cutters, it is important to consider the material being machined, the desired slot dimensions, and the cutting parameters such as speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Proper tool selection and setup are crucial for achieving accurate and efficient slotting operations.

Overall, T-Slot milling cutters are essential tools in metalworking machinery, enabling the creation of T-shaped slots for various applications in the manufacturing industry.
