Fly Milling Cutter

Fly 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.

Fly milling cutters are designed to remove material from a workpiece by rotating the cutter and feeding it into the workpiece. They are typically used in milling machines to create flat surfaces, slots, and contours on various materials, including metal.

These cutters have multiple cutting edges, which allow for efficient and precise material removal. They come in various sizes and shapes, such as cylindrical, shell, and disc-shaped, to accommodate different milling operations.

Fly milling cutters are commonly made from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide materials, which provide durability and resistance to wear. They can be used for both roughing and finishing operations, depending on the specific requirements of the machining process.

When selecting a fly milling cutter, factors such as the material being machined, the desired surface finish, and the cutting speed and feed rate should be considered. Proper tool selection and setup are crucial for achieving accurate and efficient machining results.

Overall, fly milling cutters are essential tools in metalworking machinery, enabling precise and efficient material removal in milling operations.
