What are the advantages of slotted straight shank end mills
The inserted tooth straight shank end mill has the following advantages:Sources：www.cv-group.com.cn | PublishDate：2025.04.22
1.High Cutting Performance
Replaceable Inserts: The inserts of the inserted tooth straight shank end mill are replaceable. When the cutting edges of the inserts are worn, only the inserts need to be replaced instead of the entire tool. This not only saves the tool cost but also reduces the downtime caused by tool replacement, improving production efficiency.
Diverse Tool Materials: The inserts of the inserted tooth straight shank end mill are usually made of high-performance cemented carbide or other advanced tool materials. These materials have high hardness, high wear resistance, and good heat resistance, and can maintain good cutting performance under the processing conditions of high-speed cutting and large feed rates, enabling efficient cutting.
2.High Machining Precision
High Dimensional Accuracy: The manufacturing accuracy of the inserted tooth structure is relatively high. After the inserts are installed on the tool body, the positional accuracy and runout accuracy of the inserts can be ensured, thus achieving high-precision machining. When machining precision parts, the inserted tooth straight shank end mill can meet relatively high dimensional accuracy requirements. For example, in mold manufacturing, it can machine cavities and cores with dimensional accuracy in the micron level.
Good Surface Quality: Due to the sharp cutting edges and good wear resistance of the inserts, a stable cutting state can be maintained during the cutting process, reducing the generation of cutting vibrations and burrs, and thus obtaining good machining surface quality. This is very beneficial for the machining of some parts with high requirements for surface roughness, such as the machining of the blades of aerospace parts.
3.Long Tool Life
Good Wear Resistance: The cemented carbide and other materials used for the inserts have excellent wear resistance and can withstand the cutting force and friction for a long time, reducing the occurrence of wear. Compared with ordinary integral end mills, for the inserted tooth straight shank end mill, only the inserts need to be replaced when they are worn, and the tool body can continue to be used, greatly extending the overall service life of the tool.
Re-grinding or Replacement Available: Some inserts of the inserted tooth straight shank end mill can be re-ground after wear to restore the sharpness of the cutting edges, further improving the tool life. Even if the inserts cannot be re-ground, the cost of replacing the inserts is relatively low, making the tool more cost-effective throughout its entire service life.
4.Wide Application Range
Multiple Cutting Edge Forms: According to different processing requirements, the inserted tooth straight shank end mill can select inserts of different shapes and angles, such as flat-bottomed inserts, rounded inserts, ball-nosed inserts, etc., to adapt to various processing techniques such as plane milling, contour milling, cavity milling, and surface milling.
Diverse Machined Materials: Due to the high performance of the insert materials, the inserted tooth straight shank end mill can machine various metal materials and non-metal materials, including steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, plastic, composite materials, etc. Whether it is alloy steel with relatively high hardness or aluminum alloy with good toughness, efficient machining can be achieved by selecting appropriate insert materials and cutting parameters.
