CNC Milling cutter

Description

Product Overview
CNC milling cutter — a precision, high-performance rotary cutting tool engineered for metalworking and composite machining. It delivers high material removal rates with tight dimensional accuracy, enabling efficient milling, slotting, contouring and face-milling operations across production and job-shop environments. The cutter’s primary value is predictable, repeatable cutting performance that reduces cycle times, extends tool life, and lowers per-part machining cost. Strategically, it supports manufacturers’ lean-production and high-mix low-volume strategies by enabling faster setups, fewer tool changes, and consistent part quality across shifts and facilities.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material composition: Solid carbide (micro-grain WC-Co) body with optional PVD/TiAlN or AlTiN surface coating; alternative options: HSS (M2) and coated HSS for lower-cost applications.

• Binder composition: Cobalt (Co) binder, standard 6–10% depending on grade.

• Grain size: 0.6–1.5 µm micro-grain for carbide grades (custom grades available).

• Hardness: Carbide substrate typical 1400–1700 HV; coated cutting edge hardness up to 3000 HV effective surface hardness.

• Geometry: Available in single-flute, two-flute, three-flute, and four-flute configurations; corner radii options 0.0–2.0 mm; helix angles 30°/45°.

• Diameters and lengths: Standard diameters 3–32 mm; overall lengths and shank diameters conforming to ISO/CAT toolholder standards.

• Tolerances: Diameter tolerance h6, runout ≤ 0.01 mm (for precision grades).

• Coating specifications: PVD TiAlN typical thickness 1–3 µm; adhesion-tested to industrial standards.

• Surface finish: Ra ≤ 0.4 µm on cutting edges (precision grade).

• Thermal stability: Rated for continuous operation up to 650 °C in dry or MQL conditions (coated carbides).

• Physical form & color: Solid rod tool, metallic gray/black finish for coated variants.

• Packaging options: Individual blister with desiccant and labeling; sets in protective cases; bulk packaging in foam trays per carton; export-ready wooden crates or palletized cartons for bulk.

• Shelf life: Indefinite when stored dry in original packaging; recommended storage humidity <60% and temperature 5–35 °C.

• Traceability: Lot and batch stamping; material certificates (MMR/COA) and serial numbers available on request.

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Automotive, aerospace, energy (turbines, oil & gas components), general engineering, mold & die, medical device manufacturing.

• Typical use cases: High-speed slotting and pocketing of aluminum and non-ferrous alloys; finishing and semi-finishing of steels and stainless steels; high-precision profiling of titanium and nickel-based superalloys; micro-milling of medical components; die-sinking pre-machining.

• Performance advantages: Carbide substrate with advanced coating provides superior wear resistance and heat management vs. HSS; multi-flute geometries increase material removal rates and surface finish quality compared with basic endmills; tight tolerance and runout control minimize rework and scrap.

• Efficiency gains: Enables higher feed rates and cutting speeds, reducing cycle time 15–40% depending on material and operation; extended tool life decreases tooling consumption and tool change downtime.

• Durability and reliability: Optimized chip evacuation and coating technology reduce built-up edge (BUE) and thermal degradation in long runs, lowering net operating costs.

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Manufactured to ISO 9001/AS9100 processes with statistical process control for diameter, tolerance, coating adhesion and hardness.

• Supply reliability: Regular production cadence with safety stock, multiple manufacturing lines, and vetted raw material suppliers to support predictable lead times.

• Logistics capability: Export-compliant packaging, consolidation services, and global freight partners; capability to load full containers and manage customs documentation for international deliveries.

• Price competitiveness: Tiered pricing for standard carbide grades and volume discounts for repeat orders; cost-down programs available for multi-year contracts.

• Sustainability: Low-waste manufacturing processes, recycling of carbide scrap, and options for low-VOC PVD coatings; packaging recyclable and optimized for container loading to reduce shipping emissions.

• Technical support: Application engineering support for tool selection, cutting parameters, and CAD/CAM integration; supply of test reports (cutting trials), recommended feeds/speeds, and regrinding guidelines.

• Documentation: Full material certificates (COA), MSDS where applicable, dimensional inspection reports, and traceability records supplied with shipment.

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT

• Loading capacity: Standard 20 ft container load capacity depends on packaging; estimated up to 20 MT per 20 ft container (subject to packaging and palletization). For 40 ft HC containers, estimated up to 25–28 MT per container depending on pallet configuration and export packaging.

• Lead times: Typical production lead time 4–8 weeks for standard grades; expedited production available subject to surcharge.

• Payment and terms: Commercial terms negotiable; standard net terms, L/C and wire transfer options supported.

• After-sales: Regrind and recycling programs, warranty on manufacturing defects, and volume-based spare tooling programs.
