Milling Cutter Selection Guide:
Best Tools for Different Materials & Applications
Metal Material Processing
Pre-hardened Steel
Recommended tools: Carbide milling cutters (e.g., APMT1604 inserts) or high-hardness steel coated milling cutters (HRC70 grade)
-Best for: Grooving operations (slot milling cutters), profiling (ball nose end mills)
Stainless Steel/Mold Steel/Heat-Resistant Steel
Top choices: TiAlN-coated milling cutters (heat-resistant, anti-adhesion) or CBN cutters (high hardness, wear-resistant)
Cast iron tip: Use coarse-tooth milling cutters to reduce cutting heat generation
Copper, Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Metals
Recommended: Uncoated carbide milling cutters (prevents chemical reactions with coatings)
Pipe processing: High-speed steel saw blade milling cutters (produces smooth, burr-free cuts)
Steel Plates/Tubes
General use: Carbide milling cutters (e.g., side-and-face cutters, indexable milling cutters)
Cutting operations: Saw blade milling cutters recommended (0.1-23mm thickness, customizable)
Non-Metal Material Processing
Wood/Plastics：
Roughing: Helical coarse-tooth cutters (high chip removal efficiency)
Finishing: Fine-tooth milling cutters
FRP composites: Carbide-coated milling cutters (minimizes fiber delamination)
Plastics Best options: HSS or carbide milling cutters (prevents material melting from heat)
(4) Milling Cutter Applications Across Industries
As precision cutting tools, milling cutters play vital roles in:
- Automotive Manufacturing: Engine components, aluminum alloy parts
- Aerospace: Titanium alloys, high-temperature superalloys
- Mold & Die Making: Cavities, parting surfaces
- Electronics (3C): Smartphone casings, micro-components
Our company specializes in manufacturing and customizing a wide array of cutting tools, dedicated to boosting clients' production efficiency and slashing manufacturing costs. We offer comprehensive tool solutions tailored for various cutting materials, encompassing carbon steel (approx. HB225 hardness), alloy steel (HB225~325 hardness), pre-hardened steel (up to HRC45 hardness), quenched steel (HRC40~61 hardness), and cast iron. These solutions cater to diverse cutting needs, including straight cuts, curved cuts, L-shaped cuts, groove cuts, internal arc cuts, external arc cuts, T-shaped cuts, drilling, and threading.
Our carbide cutting tools excel in processing the aforementioned steel types, delivering exceptional performance with a precision tolerance of just ±0.02mm. This ensures that our customers can effortlessly achieve professional-grade cutting quality, making us your ideal partner for milling tool solutions.
We can provide customized OEM production services. If our standard carbide milling cutters do not meet your requirements, you can customize the diameter within 0.2mm-25mm, the total length from 50mm to 200mm, and choose flutes of 4F, 5F, 6F, or 8F. You can also add your own logo. Please feel free to contact us for any needs.
