Cutter types

 

Peripheral = side

Side & Face cutters: Machine slots & faces

Slitting Saw: Narrow slots

End mill: Peripheral & face milling but end doesn't cut full diameter so can't be fed into the work like a drill..

  • Multiple cutting edges - smoother finsih than Slot Drill

Slot Drill: Peripheral & face milling and end does cut full diameter so can be fed into the work like a drill

  • 2 Cutting edges (to remove chips when drilling action
  • Used only when end mill not practical

Shell Mill: (Face mill) cut on the side of large flat cutter to generate horizontal surface.

  • Uses less power than slab mill and beter finish
