What are the types of cutting tools in machining centers?

There are many types of CNC tools used in machining centers. They can be divided into integral, inlaid and special types according to their structures. They can be divided into high-speed steel tools, carbide tools, diamond tools and other material tools according to their materials. They can be divided into cutting tools according to their cutting technology. Turning tools, drilling tools, boring tools, milling tools, etc. The cutting tools of general machining centers are required to have good rigidity, good interchangeability, long service life, and easy size adjustment, and appropriate CNC tools need to be selected according to the processing needs. Let’s take a look at how to choose the right machining center tool. 1. What are the types of cutting tools in machining centers?
The machining center processes the workpiece mainly through cutting tools. The cutting tools used in the machining center are generally CNC cutting tools, which can adapt to the high speed, high efficiency and high degree of automation of CNC machining centers. There are many types of machining center tools, and the classification methods are:
1. According to tool structure
It can be divided into integral type; embedded type, which adopts welding or machine clamp connection. The machine clamp type can be divided into non-indexable and indexable types; special types, such as composite tools, shock-absorbing tools, etc.
2. According to tool material
It can be divided into high-speed steel tools, carbide tools, diamond tools, and other material tools (such as cubic boron nitride tools, ceramic tools, etc.).
3. According to cutting technology
It can be divided into turning tools, including cylindrical, inner hole, thread, cutting tools, etc.; drilling tools, including drill bits, reamers, taps, etc.; boring tools; milling tools, etc.
There are many types of cutting tools in machining centers. The commonly used ones are CNC end mills, fixed-point drills, center drills, twist drills, group drills, face milling cutters, round nose cutters, T-shaped cutters, keyway cutters, ball cutters, internal R cutters, Dovetail milling cutters, fine boring cutters, reamers, rolling cutters, rotary files, etc.
