Tungsten carbide angle end mill, installed in vertical milling machines, is normally used in milling grooves of relatively small workpieces. It is a kind of rotary cutting tool with on or more teeth and is compatible with processing materials like die steel, cast iron, carbon steel, alloy steel, tool steel and general steel materials.
During milling, each tooth of tungsten carbide angle end mill intermittently cuts off workpiece allowance in proper order. It is used in machining grooves and step surface with its teeth on the circumference and end surface. When it works, it cannot feed along the axial direction, but when there are end teeth through the center, it can do axial direction feeding.
Characteristics of tungsten carbide angle end mills:
I. It is used in milling metal grooves and step surface.
II. It is widely used in rough, semi-finish and finish milling of workpieces.
III. Its cutting edge, made through complete grinding, is of smooth active surface, little chip removal resistance, high intensity and high precision.
IV. It can work normally with overload under high temperature up to 450℃-550℃.
