The difference and use of boring cutter and milling cutter

Usually we use the rough boring cutter, which is basically round handle. We use more when processing and expanding the inner hole. So what's the difference between the boring cutter and the milling cutter?

About boring cutter:

Boring cutter is a kind of boring cutter. Because of the different clamping methods, the toolholder has square handle, taper handle and other forms. The rough boring cutter can not only be used to process the inner hole, but also the outer edge of the end face. It needs to be pre adjusted before using the boring cutter, and the dimensional accuracy should meet the requirements.

Boring cutter is a kind of boring cutter, which is usually round handle, but also large workpiece. Square cutter bar is commonly used in vertical lathe, and the common occasions are inner hole processing, reaming, profiling, etc. However, it is not only able to process the inner hole, but also the outer circle of the end face, which is not used in this way

About milling cutter:

Milling cutter is a kind of forming cutter, which is mainly used for milling, with one or more cutter teeth. The types of milling cutter include cylindrical milling cutter, Face Milling Cutter, etc. milling cutter is mainly used for machining plane, forming surface and cutting workpiece on milling machine. There are two kinds of milling methods: forward milling and reverse milling.

The geometric shape of the machined part is the main basis for selecting the tool type.

① When machining curved surface parts, in order to ensure that the cutting edge of the cutting tool is tangent to the machining contour at the cutting point and avoid the interference between the cutting edge and the workpiece contour, the ball end cutter is generally used, the two edge milling cutter is used for rough machining, and the four edge milling cutter is used for semi finish machining and finish machining. The number of cutting edges is also related to the diameter of the milling cutter.

② In order to improve the production efficiency and the surface roughness, the insert type disc milling cutter is generally used when milling large plane.

③ When milling small plane or step surface, general milling cutter is generally used.

④ When milling keyway, in order to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the groove, generally use two edge keyway milling cutter.

⑤ When machining holes, drill bit, boring cutter and other tools can be used.
