Side Milling Cutter

Side 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.

Side milling cutters are designed to remove material from the side of a workpiece. They have multiple cutting edges along the circumference of the cutter, allowing for efficient and precise machining. These cutters are commonly used in milling operations to create slots, grooves, and other features on the side of a workpiece.

Side milling cutters come in various sizes, materials, and configurations to suit different machining applications. They can be made from high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, or other advanced materials, depending on the specific requirements of the workpiece and the machining process.

When selecting a side milling cutter, factors such as the diameter, width, and number of teeth should be considered to ensure optimal performance and desired results. It is also important to choose the appropriate cutter for the material being machined, as different materials may require different cutting speeds, feeds, and cutting parameters.

Overall, side milling cutters are essential tools in metalworking machinery, enabling precise and efficient machining operations on the side of workpieces.
