Angle-milling cutters

Now the theoretic profile of the slot in a plane is known (without considering forces). As the milling cutter is rotating and moving forward, the points PI, P2, P3, and P4 are moving upward and forward. So the scallops are tilted by the angle a (Fig. 11). 

The extension of the 2D examination to the 3D milling cutter is shown in Fig. 15. Due to the helix angle, each point of the cutting edge is at a different rotational position on the tool and on a different height. So for an analytical calculation, the cutter has to be divided into height increments... 

The preferred method for cutting the helical baffles is to use a milling machine with an indexing head and a 1/8" thick disc cutter. The tangent table angle is set to 87 for proper cutter clearance. Depth of cut is set to. 4375". Spiral pitch is. 25" (one turn in. 25"). Gear change (velocity ratio) is 1/40 for machines with a standard pitch of 10 inches. For other machines, use the fol-...

Designed for milling dovetail slides of machines, this cutter has teeth on its angle face and on the end face. To produce a dovetail slide, a step is machined to the correct depth and width the angle is then finally machined using the dovetail cutter. Fig. 11.8(1). It is available in a variety of sizes up to 38 nun diameter, with 45 and 60 angles.
