Tungsten carbide milling tool, also called tungsten carbide milling cutter, is a cutting tool typically used in milling machines or machining centers to perform milling operations. It removes material by its movement within the machine or directly from the cutter's shape. It is mainly used for machining planes, steps, grooves and forming surfaces on PCB boards, bakelite boards, plastics, wood, etc. Well, do you know why tungsten carbide milling tool breaks?

Tungsten carbide milling cutter is made of ultrafine grain cemented carbide material that has properties of high hardness, sufficient bending strength and excellent wear resistance and has good milling and cutting performance to ensure high work efficiency. Also, the slots, holes and edges are clean, tidy, and free of burrs. Tungsten carbide milling cutters are mainly used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) processing, so it is also called tungsten carbide PCB milling cutters.

Tungsten carbide end mill is a type of milling cutter used in industrial milling applications such as profile milling, tracer milling, face milling, and plunging. It is distinguished from the drill bit in its application, geometry, and manufacture. A drill bit can only cut in the axial direction, while most milling bits can cut in the radial direction. Not all mills can cut axially; those designed to cut axially are known as end mills.

Do you know what the English letters and numbers in the model of tungsten carbide thread insert mean? Let's take 17NR8-3RD as an example to understand the type of a tungsten carbide thread insert.
