End Mills. Using an end mill to do face milling is often inefficient, but can create some appealing patterns in your finish, if that's what you're after. An end mill often comes to a sharp point at one corner and the bottom edge is usually at a 1° angle as it goes to the center, so it doesn't overlap with the previous pass.

ادامه مطلب2 Flute End Mills (Slot drills): For use on wood and aluminium; Fewer flutes are best for chip evacuation, keeping the bit cooler, but leaving a rougher surface cut. 2 flutes are best for use on Wood and aluminium as these produce very large chips in comparison to other materials. 2 flute end mills are also referred to as slot drills. 4 Flute ...
ادامه مطلبWhether you call it Deep Pocket, Deep Cavity, or Deep Slot Milling, dealing with extended reach situations is one of the hardest problems in machining. Using long or extended reach tools to reach down into a deep pocket situation leads to problems with: Tool Deflection. Machining Chatter. Wall Taper. Wall Finish. Coolant Delivery. Chip Extraction.

ادامه مطلبA New Milling 101: Milling Forces and Formulas. Part 3. The forces involved in the milling process can be quantified, thus allowing mathematical tools to predict and control these forces. Formulas for calculating these forces accurately make it possible to optimize the quality (and the profitability) of milling operations.
ادامه مطلبMachining Strategies for Aluminum. For most applications when milling aluminum, I've had the most success with old-fashioned aggression for getting good material rates. Things like peel milling is a waste of time the large majority of the time, except for when you're working with very small cutters in cramped geometry.
ادامه مطلبYou should reduce the chipload for your finishing pass. However, you want to run an end mill with more flutes for finishing than for roughing. Therefore, your feedrate will be close to the same as roughing. For example, roughing in Aluminum you would want to use a 2 or 3 flute end mill. For finishing you would use a 3 or 4 flute end mill.
ادامه مطلبAn end mill with three flutes is probably ideal. More flutes than that can be too many because a tool with four or more flutes may not leave enough room for the chip to escape. At high cutting speeds, aluminum may adhere between closely spaced flutes, potentially leaving the cutter looking like an aluminum lollipop.
ادامه مطلبAnd consequently the tabs on the T-Slot Block matches the T-Slot on the mill table. And for the coresponding T-Slot Block family, the T-Slot in the T-Slot Block is the same as the machine tool table. For example if a shop has mills that have 9/16 size T-Slots on their mills they would get the T-Slot Block that was in the 9/16 family.
ادامه مطلبI have grizzly mill/drill and using cheap HF bit set. I need to create 1/4" slot, 1/2" long in 1/4 inch thick aluminum. I have tried to plunge a 1/4" bit, then feed for the 1/2" length. First off, the bit chatters as I make the plunge cut, even if I modulate the quill. Then the slot is ragged when I make the cut.

ادامه مطلبI use a brand of end mill that is local made here in Mississippi by a place called GLC manufacturing. But even with accupro brand mills, I usually run between 6000-7000 RPM and between 30-50 IPM with about a .150-.250 depth of cut. I always get the carbide ZrN coated endmills. I love machining aluminum cause you can hog the crap out of it.

ادامه مطلبFor the UP milling process, complete the statements with the answers supplied: The chip thickness is a _______ at the end of the chip formation as the tool exits the work piece. False. High ductile materials (i.e, aluminum) should be milled with the up milling process to prevent rapid dulling of the cutter teeth.
ادامه مطلبEnd mills with high helix are used for milling aluminum and light metals. The end mill cutter may have either taper shank (tanged or tapped) or straight shank. Large cutters (shell end mill cutters) have the cutter part separate and are held to a stub arbor owing to the high cost of the high speed steel.
