Specifications of T-type cutter

T-type cutter is a commonly used tool, also known as T-type milling cutter, semicircular milling cutter, keyway milling cutter, mainly used for processing workpieces with T-slots, such as machine tool slides, precision tools, etc. The following are some common specifications of T-type cutters summarized by Zhongyeda editor:

1. Shape classification

T-type cutters have many shapes, the most common ones are:

1. Positive T-type milling cutter

2. T-type milling cutter with arc

3. T-type milling cutter with chamfer

4. Spherical T-type cutter

5. Dovetail T-type

2. Material classification

T-type cutter also has a variety of material options to meet different processing needs, the most common ones are:

1. Carbide (tungsten steel) T-type cutter

2. High-speed steel (white steel, HSS) T-type cutter

3. Tool steel T-type cutter

There are also other popular names, such as aluminum T-type cutter and stainless steel T-type cutter. This classification method is mainly divided according to the processed material.

3. Main dimensional parameters

The main dimensional parameters of T-type knives include:

1. Blade diameter: refers to the diameter of the cutting part of the T-type knife. The blade diameter of different models of T-type knives may be different.

2. Blade length (thickness of T head): refers to the length of the cutting part of the T-type knife or the thickness of the T head part, which determines the depth that the tool can cut.

3. Clearance diameter: refers to the diameter of the non-cutting part of the T-type knife, which is usually used to install and fix the tool.

4. Clearance length: refers to the length of the non-cutting part of the T-type knife, which helps the stability and rigidity of the tool during the cutting process.

5. Shank diameter: refers to the diameter of the shank of the T-type knife, which determines the matching size of the tool and the machine tool spindle or fixture.

6. Total length: refers to the overall length of the T-type knife, including the cutting part, non-cutting part and shank.

In summary, the specifications of T-type knives include shape, material, main dimensional parameters (such as blade diameter, blade length, clearing diameter, clearing length, shank diameter and total length) and applicable machine tools. When selecting a T-type tool, it is necessary to determine the appropriate specifications based on the specific processing requirements and machine tool configuration.
