The single-edge rough boring tool can flexibly adjust the cutting force and adapt to different hardness materials during processing. The double-edge rough boring tool can improve the material removal rate and shorten the processing time by cutting both sides. The precision boring tool is a single-edge design, which carries out the final dressing of the hole with extremely high precision, so that the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the hole can reach the ideal state. In the processing of large box parts, the boring tool plays an irreplaceable role, providing accurate hole processing for the core parts of mechanical equipment.

 

4. Milling cutter: versatile tool for milling

Milling cutter, mainly used for milling machining, is a rotary tool with one or more tool teeth. When working, each knife tooth in turn intermittently cuts off the spare part of the workpiece, just like a skilled engraver, carving out the desired shape bit by bit on the material. Cylindrical surface milling cutter focuses on surface processing, which can quickly cut a large area of surface; Face milling cutter is suitable for processing step surface and plane, its cutting range is wide, can cover a large processing area at one time; The groove milling cutter performs well in the machining of grooves, whether it is straight grooves, dovetail grooves or T-shaped grooves, and can cut accurately; Two-edge milling cutter and three-edge milling cutter with their unique cutting edge design can be easily used in machining different types of slots and steps. End milling cutter is one of the most widely used tools in milling, it can carry out plane, surface, groove and other kinds of machining, high tooth stiffness, suitable for high-speed machining and heavy cutting; Keyway milling cutter is specially used for machining keyway, the shape of the cutter teeth and the shape of the keyway are highly matched to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy of the keyway; Angle milling cutter in the machining of Angle grooves and inclined surfaces to show their skills, through accurate Angle cutting, to achieve complex geometric shape processing; Form milling cutter is able to process a variety of complex shapes of the surface according to specific needs.

 

5, broach: efficient choice in mass production

Broach is a forming tool used for broaching. It is unique in that there are multiple rows of teeth on the surface of the tool, and the size and shape of each row of teeth increase and change from the cut end to the cut end in turn. When the broach is broaching, each knife tooth is like a miniature craftsman, cutting a certain thickness of metal from the workpiece, and finally getting the required size and shape. Broaching tools are often used in batch and mass production for efficient machining of round holes, spline holes, keyways, as well as flat and formed surfaces. According to the different parts of the processing surface, it is divided into internal broach and external broach; According to the different ways of working force, it is divided into broach and push knife. The pusher is often used to calibrate the shaped hole after heat treatment and plays an important role in ensuring the accuracy of the hole.

6, gear tool: gear processing artifact

Gear machining plays an important role in machinery manufacturing, and gear tool is the key to realize high precision gear machining.

Gear hob, according to the helical gear pair meshing principle, cutting gear by generating method. It is divided into many types according to the processing nature, such as fine cutting hob for the final precision machining of gear; The rough cutting hob plays an important role in the preliminary machining stage of the gear. Pre-shaving hob, pre-scraping hob, pre-extrusion hob, pre-grinding hob, stay grinding hob, chamfering hob, etc., respectively for different processing stages and specific needs, to ensure the gear profile accuracy and surface quality.

A gear shaper cutter is a gear shaped or rack shaped gear machining tool. It is used for machining straight and helical gears with internal and external meshing by the development method. The gear shaper cutter is characterized in that it can process gears with shoulder gear, multi-coupled gear and double-helical gear with no empty slot. Disk, bowl, barrel and taper shaper cutter are suitable for different processing scenarios. Disk shaper cutter is the most widely used for machining straight, helical and herringbone gears with internal and external meshing. The bowl-shaped gear shaper cutter is suitable for machining internal and external meshing spur gears with shoulders and multiple links, and its unique design does not hinder the machining process; Cylindrical gear shaper cutter is mainly used for machining internal gear and external gear with small modulus. It is connected with the main shaft of gear shaper machine through the internal hole thread to ensure the stability of processing. Taper shank gear shaper cutter focuses on the machining of internally engaged straight and helical gears.

The shaving tool is provided with a number of narrow grooves forming a cutting edge on the tooth surface, and the gear shape of the workpiece is processed according to the meshing principle of the helical gear. It refines the gear after the gear hobbing and shaper. By cutting the whisker-like fine chips, the gear tooth shape is more accurate and the surface is smoother, thus improving the transmission accuracy and reliability of the gear.

 

7, grinding wheel: the backbone of grinding processing

The grinding wheel, also known as the consolidated abrasive tool, is a binder that consolidates the ordinary abrasive into a certain shape (mostly round, with a central hole) and has a certain strength of the consolidated abrasive tool. Generally composed of abrasives, binders and pores, these three parts are called the three elements of consolidated abrasives. According to the different classification of bond, common ceramic (bond) grinding wheel, resin (bond) grinding wheel, rubber (bond) grinding wheel. Grinding wheel is the largest amount of abrasive tools, the most widely used one, the use of high-speed rotation, can be used for metal or non-metal workpiece, the outer circle, the inner circle, the plane and a variety of profiles, such as rough grinding, semi-fine grinding and fine grinding, as well as grooving and cutting and other processing. In the final stage of machining, the grinding wheel often acts as the master role of "fine carving", which enables the workpiece to achieve extremely high dimensional accuracy and surface quality through fine grinding.
