Frequently asked questions and solutions in milling
Question |
Reason |
Solutions |
·Tools breakage |
·feeding too fast |
·reduce feeding speed |
·Abrasion |
·too fast |
·reduce speed |
·Blade passivation |
·friction is too high in cutting |
·early sanding |
·Notched blade |
·feeding too fast |
·reduce feeding speed |
·Cutting stacking |
·too fast cutting removal |
·adjust feeding rate and speed |
·Rough selvedge |
·over abrasion of main clearance angle |
·early sanding |
·No perpendicularity on edge |
·feeding too fast ·over cutting ·blade length is too long ·blade number is not enough |
·reduce speed ·reduce cutting depth and width ·use suitable tool ·use multi-blade milling cutter |
·Inaccurate size |
·over cutting ·lack of accuracy for machine and fixing tool ·lack of stiffness for for machine and fixing tool ·blade number is not enough |
·reduce cutting depth and width ·machine maintenance ·change cutting setting of machine, fixing tools and cutting ·use multi-blade milling cutter |
·Noise |
·feeding speed is too fast ·stiffness is not enough for mahine and fixing tools ·clearance angle is too large ·bad workpiece fixing ·cutting is too depp ·blade length is too long |
·change feeding speed and rate ·use better machine or fixing tools ·reduce clearance angle ·fix workpiece ·reduce depth of cutting ·use shorter milling cutter or change cutting method |
·Rough surface fine milling |
·feeding too fast ·too slow over abrasion ·no chip removal hook face on end blade |
·reduce feeding speed ·increase speed ·early sanding ·reduce chip removal |
