Face Milling Cutter

Face milling cutters are cutting tools used in machine tools, specifically in metalworking machinery. They are part of the supply class called Cutting Tools for Machine Tools, which falls under the supply group Metalworking Machinery.

Face milling cutters are designed to remove material from the surface of a workpiece in order to create a flat, smooth finish. They are typically used in milling machines, which are machines that use rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece.

These cutters have multiple cutting edges, or teeth, arranged on the periphery of the cutter. The teeth engage with the workpiece and remove material as the cutter rotates. The cutting edges of face milling cutters are usually made of high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, which are materials known for their hardness and durability.

Face milling cutters come in various sizes and configurations, depending on the specific application and the desired outcome. They can be used for roughing, finishing, or contouring operations, depending on the type of cutter and the cutting parameters used.

In summary, face milling cutters are cutting tools used in metalworking machinery, specifically in milling machines. They are part of the supply class Cutting Tools for Machine Tools and the supply group Metalworking Machinery. These cutters have multiple cutting edges and are used to remove material from the surface of a workpiece to create a flat, smooth finish.
