A disk mill is used to process metal products: cutting, forming grooves and grooves. It can be used both in production and at home. The presented element is installed most often on a special machine.
The advantages of disk cutters and their scope
This product has a huge mass of advantages, such as:
- functionality (due to the different shape of the circles you can process almost any metal);
- practicality (since the material from which the mill is made is very high quality, and the part itself is quite durable, the circle can work for a long time without additional sharpening);
- durability (a disk mill breaks very rarely);
- acceptable price;
- widespread (you can purchase an item in any store of industrial goods).
As for the areas of use, there are a lot of them. For example, a disk mill is used in industry (manufacturing various products), laying communication pipes (for cutting material), for making holes and grooves in metal workpieces.
Varieties of cutters
It should be noted that the presented product can be classified according to different parameters. For example, elements differ in the shape and size of the teeth: straight, helical and multidirectional. Their number can range from 4 to 12 pieces. The speed of the machine often depends on this.
In addition, one can distinguish such milling cutters:
- bilateral;
- tripartite;
- grooving.
In the first two varieties, the teeth are on a cylindrical surface and at the ends. As for the grooving cutter, an important parameter of the product is its width.
You can also highlight other types of these products. For example, a threaded disk mill is designed for the manufacture of internal and external threads. Their step is determined by the structural features of the disk.
For cutting metals and alloys of different densities and strengths, high-speed steel elements are used . They are made of a very durable material that has a high degree of sharpness. During use, the element can operate for a long time without additional sharpening.
Carbide carbide milling cutters provide high-quality metal processing, while they can serve quite a long time.
Features of working with this product
There are no special rules or recommendations for the use of these cutters. Naturally, extra care must be taken during their operation. A feature of such elements is that each tooth on the wheel works for a very short time. This milling and differs from other types of cutting work.
Another feature of cutters is that during operation they do not damage the workpiece. Each tooth also cuts shavings of different thicknesses.
Cutting disc mill for metal is used for processing various types of steel. The diameter of the elements in this case ranges from 16 to 62 cm. The thickness of the disk can be 1-6 mm. Naturally, an important parameter of the presented elements is their coating, which allows the use of the circle for various works, while its surface is protected from damage and corrosion.
