Tungsten carbide end mill cutting tool Custom Dovetail Milling Cutter

Tungsten carbide end mill cutting tool Custom Dovetail Milling Cutter

Introduction:

A custom dovetail milling cutter made from tungsten carbide is a specialized cutting tool designed for machining precise dovetail grooves or undercuts in materials like steel, aluminum, titanium, or hardened alloys.

Features:

1. Material & Hardness

• Tungsten Carbide (Uncoated):

  • High hardness (~90-94 HRA) for wear resistance.

  • Better heat resistance than HSS but may generate more friction than coated tools.

  • Ideal for applications where coatings could interfere (e.g., non-ferrous metals, graphite, or when a polished edge is needed).

2. Dovetail Geometry

• Standard Angles: 45°, 60°, or 90° (custom angles available).

• Cutting Edge Profile:

  • Sharp, uncoated edges for clean cuts in aluminum, brass, or plastics.

  • Optional polished flutes for improved chip evacuation in gummy materials.

3. Tool Dimensions (Customizable)

• Diameter (D): 3mm–25mm (or larger, depending on shank).

• Shank Diameter: Matches tool diameter or undersized for clearance.

• Flute Count:

  • 2 Flutes: Best for aluminum, plastics (high chip clearance).

  • 3-4 Flutes: Smoother finish in steel or cast iron (but requires proper chip evacuation).

• Cutting Length (L): Short (for rigidity) or extended (for deep slots).

• Helix Angle:

  • Low (15°–30°): For steel, titanium.

  • High (35°–45°): For aluminum, non-ferrous metals.

Advantages:

• Better for Non-Ferrous Metals: Coatings like TiN/TiAlN can sometimes adhere to aluminum.

• Cost-Effective: Uncoated tools are cheaper than coated ones.

• Sharp Edge Retention: Some high-precision applications (e.g., graphite machining) prefer uncoated tools for a keener edge.

Applications:

✔ Aluminum, Brass, Copper (no coating reduces material adhesion).

✔ Plastics & Composites (prevents melting/gumming).

✔ Graphite Electrode Machining (uncoated carbide resists edge buildup).

✔ General-Precision Dovetail Slots where coating is unnecessary.
