Strong and durable wood is recognized by experts as the safest material for humans and the environment. The degree of environmental friendliness can be safely estimated with the highest rating, which significantly expands the final areas of application of natural raw materials. For work, experts use mills for wood splicing, due to which original and durable products are obtained.
Description
Wood processing technology takes a lot of time and effort from the craftsmen. At the first stage, the raw materials are thoroughly dried, sawn into blanks and coated with a special composition. All work is carried out at large enterprises that are equipped with the necessary equipment. When the wood has passed all the stages of preparation, boards and other materials are made from it.
All blanks go to factories, where professionals produce not only construction products, but also various furniture. During operation, wood parts of different shapes and sizes can be used, which is why you just can not do without splicing and gluing. The first method is relevant in relation to blanks of the same size and shape. But splicing can be carried out along the length, width, and also thickness. Pre-prepared ends can have special spikes, as well as grooves. Due to this, significantly increases the strength of the connection of different parts.
Characteristic
Today there are several varieties of wood cutters, but all models differ in the general principle of construction. Manufacturers provided for the presence of the working part and the shank, and also installed a cutting edge. For the manufacture of important components, high-alloy steel is used, which boasts increased strength. Both the disk and direct models have the shape of the cutter pattern always aligned as accurately as possible. Only high-quality equipment with minimal impact can be used for sharpening. Only in this case can the operational characteristics of the tool be improved.
Varieties
Experts identify two main categories of cutters for wood splicing: end and mounted. The diameter of their shank can be 8, 12 and 32 millimeters. Mounted models use a 3.2 centimeter diameter spindle. Such products are considered classic for stationary equipment. End mills for wood splicing are actively used by professionals.
By type of construction, products can be solid, welded, prefabricated, or even soldered. Depending on the tasks, the units are ring, disk, end and cylindrical. Mills for longitudinal splicing of wood can be used on horizontal, engraving, vertical equipment, as well as on multifunctional CNC machines.
Technological process
For many years now, professionals have been actively using milling cutters for splicing wood along the length. The first machines appeared more than three centuries ago. Today, the milling cutter is an indispensable device for high-quality processing of billets made of wood. Cutters for wood splicing allow you to implement the following ideas:
- Create holes in the material. Arrangement of grooves and folds, without which it is simply impossible to qualitatively manufacture parts of various shapes.
- Cutting studs of different sizes, with the help of which the gluing of individual fragments occurs.
High-quality milling machines are widespread not only in the domestic industry, but also in large enterprises. The ease and simplicity of manufacturing various wooden blanks for subsequent bonding can be estimated at 4 points. To ensure that the result meets all expectations, you must first acquire the necessary experience.
Care
Absolutely all varieties of wood milling cutters need proper maintenance conditions. Specialists should timely check the degree of sharpening, as well as the absence of chips, cracks. After working with the tool, it is cleaned of tar, dust and other debris. Store machines in a designated place. If the master knows that for a long time he will not use the unit, then all the nodes need to be lubricated with standard engine oil.
For sharpening high-speed steel, it is better to use grinding wheels or special machines. If the selected nozzle has plates made of carbide material, then all manipulations should be carried out exclusively by specialized devices. Exceptionally flat sections of the working surface of the cutters can be processed.
Working teeth
All wood cutters sold today can be divided into different categories. The design of the products can be prefabricated or solid. If the tool can boast of its compactness, manufacturers can make it one-piece, one hundred is also very convenient. This nuance does not significantly affect the cost of the unit. Larger models may have a soft rod and a fairly strong edge.
A prefabricated wood mill has a significant advantage, since the user can always choose the most suitable diameter for the size necessary for the workpiece. If the product is worn, then you can quickly replace the problem area with new cutters. Specialists distinguish only two effective methods of sharpening teeth: pointed and backed. The latter option is more in demand. During sharpening, the height of the teeth does not change at all, which cannot be said about pointed models.
According to the level of hardness, experts distinguish a group of mills of series A (for professional use), as well as category N. The latter option is more suitable for home use. Of course, powerful professional units are quite expensive, but with their help you can translate the most daring ideas into reality. Products from series A compare favorably with all their analogues in their durability and functionality. An affordable option is enough for everyday tasks. If you properly care for the acquired milling cutter, then it will certainly serve for many years, without giving the user the hassle of repair work.
