Milling basics<\/h2>\n

Milling definition<\/h3>\n

Milling is a machining process with geometrically defined cutting edges and an interrupted cut. The aim of milling is to produce defined workpieces. Milling tools have one or more cutting edges and enable both vertical, horizontal and inclined machining of the materials to the axis of rotation.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GUE_fraeswerkzeuge-vergleich.jpg” alt=”Two different types of milling tools shown in a schematic view” title_text=”Two different types of milling tools shown in a schematic view” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

How does milling work?<\/h3>\n

A milling cutter continuously removes material from a raw part in the form of chips. Unlike a drill, which only cuts at the tip (main cutting edge), the milling cutter cuts at the circumference, the main cutting edge, the side cutting edge and at the face. This allows the milling cutter to machine materials simultaneously in different directions, also known as axes. During chip removal, the tools turn around their own axis at high speed and move simultaneously according to the contour to be produced. The shape of the workpiece is therefore the result of the infeed width (ae<\/sub>) and the infeed depth (ap<\/sub>).<\/p>\n

Milling strategies<\/h3>\n

The following application purposes for milling cutters are distinguished:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slider use_bg_overlay=”off” module_class=”gue-slider” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xKySlr06My8″ admin_title=”finishing” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Finishing<\/h4>\n

With finishing, a good surface, an exact dimension and an exact angle are created with small infeeds.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PtgJD7FxGQU” admin_title=”roughing” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Roughing<\/h4>\n

The roughing end mill removes as much material as possible from the workpiece in the shortest possible time with large infeeds. This produces a rough surface.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h4euUH78ObM” admin_title=”slotting” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Slotting<\/h4>\n

The slotting is used to produce elongated recesses that either extend through the material as an elongated hole or, for example, as a feather key groove. This milling operation is particularly demanding because the tools are fully wrapped around by the material at 180 degrees.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HoC_ndXzDLM” admin_title=”ramping” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Ramping<\/h4>\n

At ramping, the milling cutter dips diagonally into the materials. Subsequently, slotting, pockets or other moulding are milled into the component. This plunging strategy creates elongated cavities.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nj4wuJrGDrQ” admin_title=”helical” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Helical<\/h4>\n

With the helical plunging, the tools move spirally into the component, creating a circular pocket that is larger than the tool diameter.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JvzltOa7o7I” admin_title=”drilling” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Drilling<\/h4>\n

With drilling, the milling cutter dips into the material like a drill.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide video_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H-lmaxJIPyU” admin_title=”copying” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Copying<\/h4>\n

Radius cutters are used for profile milling. A distinction is made between full radius and corner radius cutters, also known as torus cutters. This allows complex moulding to be processed.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Angle on the milling cutter<\/h3>\n

Like the main cutting edge, the rake angle on the milling tool is also located on the circumference. Depending on the materials to be machined, the rake angle is between minus 15 and plus 25 degrees. Tools with a positive rake angle cut the material with a soft cut and produce a flowing chip. Tools with a negative rake angle are characterised by a scraping cut. Large rake angles of 10 to 25 degrees produce a sharp cutting edge and are suitable for the milling of very soft and sticky materials. The clearance angle is manufactured in two variants: with radial relief grinding, it produces very smooth cutting behaviour and a stable cutting edge, which is why it is suitable for machining stainless and heat-resistant steels, for example. The clearance angle with facet cut produces a cutting edge up to aggressive cutting behaviour.
Milling tools are also designed with different helix angles – from zero to 55 degrees. The smaller the helix angle, the fewer contact points are created between tool and the workpiece. Tools with a smaller helix angle therefore only achieve a low running smoothness and are more suitable for roughing. Tools with a larger helix angle score with a higher running smoothness and are used for finishing.<\/p>\n

Climb and conventional milling<\/h3>\n

Climb milling<\/h4>\n

When climb milling, the cutting edge performs a rotating movement in the feed direction of the workpiece. This means that the force exerted is highest when the cutting edge enters. The climb milling is preferable due to the higher tool lives and the better surfaces on the component.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0fD-Zsq9mTI” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Conventional milling<\/h4>\n

In conventional milling, the milling cutter rotates against the feed direction of the workpiece. This results in a thickening chip, the force required increases sharply from the entry of the cutting edge to the exit.<\/p>\n

Milling tools metal overview<\/h3>\n

In metalworking, a distinction is made between solid milling tools or end mills and carrier tools. Carrier tools are milling cutters with interchangeable indexable inserts. They can be converted to a different milling operation in just a few simple steps. With end mills, the cutting edge and the shank consist of one piece. Each tool is designed for a specific task and can therefore only be used for this specific process.<\/p>\n

Milling CNC <\/span>
What is CNC milling?<\/h3>\n

CNC machine tools are used for milling, particularly in the metalworking industry. This modern control technology enables the automated and therefore cost-effective production of high-precision workpieces. The machinist uses computerised numerical control (CNC) technology and first designs the desired workpiece using a CAD programme. A CAM system then assigns parameters such as speed, feed rate and cutting depth to this model and transfers it to the CNC software. Series production on CNC milling machines is particularly cost-effective because they can achieve cutting speeds of up to 18,000 revolutions per minute, and even over 50,000 revolutions per minute on high-speed machines.<\/p>\n

End mills<\/h2>\n

What is an end mill?<\/h3>\n

In an end mill, the cutting surface and clamping surface consist of a single piece. The integrated shank is clamped into the milling cutter holder of the machine. The clamping shank can be cylindrical or tapered. End mills are available in many different designs and are suitable for manufacturing slots, slotting, pockets, recesses, dies and hollow shapes. G\u00fchring offers various end mill products, such as roughing and finishing end mills.<\/p>\n

End mill designation<\/h3>\n

End mills with straight shanks are defined in the ISO-standard DIN 844. The standard contains information on dimensions, tool materials, designs and labelling of the tools. DIN 845 specifies the requirements on end mills with morse taper shanks.<\/p>\n

End mill carbide<\/h3>\n

End mills for metalworking can be made from different cutting materials. Commonly used are high speed steel (HSS) and solid carbide.
Universal milling cutters or high-performance cutters made of solid carbide are used on modern CNC machines. They are particularly suitable for series production. High machining speeds make them very efficient. They also achieve high tool lives as well as cutting depths and cutting widths. Overall, they are characterised by a high cost-effectiveness. The disadvantages of solid carbide milling cutters are their higher purchase price. They are also not suitable for production processes with unstable machine conditions.<\/p>\n

HSS milling cutters<\/a> are made from high speed steel. The main advantage of HSS cutters over solid carbide cutters is their favourable purchase price. The disadvantages, on the other hand, are the low machining speed and the low tool life. This is why milling cutters made of HSS and HSS-E are rarely used in series production<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”End mills for aluminium” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Aluminium has a low weight and high conductivity, which makes it a popular material in the electrical industry, for example. However, the milling of aluminium is very demanding because the material becomes soft due to the heat generated during milling and the chips stick to the cutting edges of the milling tools. A single flute cutter is best suited for machining aluminium because the risk of chips “sticking” is lowest here. For medium-hard aluminium alloys, double and multi-cutters can also be used.<\/p>\n

In most cases, end mills are used for metalworking, the slotting of which are arranged in a spiral. This has several advantages: the helical teeth result in a uniform cut, a uniform cutting force and smoother running of the machine. In addition, chips are transported off to the side and do not enter the hole.<\/p>\n

The milling cutter portfolio from G\u00fchring includes many common dimensions. For example, G\u00fchring offers four-edged solid carbide-end mills with a nominal diameter of 2 mm. Different coatings are possible. Micro milling cutters are available from 0.3 to 3.2 mm. We also offer a solid carbide end mill with 6 mm diameter and AlCrN coating. Large diameters are mainly used for high-performance milling because they can achieve higher metal removal rate. G\u00fchring offers solid carbide end mills with diameters from 12 to 32 mm. For machining operations where extra long milling cutters are required, G\u00fchring offers the end mill-series XL<\/a>. These have a total length of up to 150 mm.<\/p>\n
