What types of woodworking milling cutters are there?

In daily life, there are many machines or some household products for us to use. When making these products or machines, many small tools will be used. Woodworking milling cutters are such a small tool. Woodworking milling cutters are tools that use cutting methods to process wood into the required shape and size. So what types of woodworking milling cutters are there? Next, the editor of Zhongyeda will introduce this issue to you.

Types of woodworking milling cutters:

1. Shaving straight knives are widely used milling cutters, which can be used for trimming, boarding, boring, tenoning and carving. Trimming machines most commonly use 6mm milling cutters, while woodworking engraving machines often use 12mm milling cutters. The main reason is that the size of the milling cutter is the same as the handle diameter, which is more convenient to operate, and the price of the milling cutter is relatively cheap.

2. Trimming cutters are of two types: single bearing and double bearing, which are mainly used for trimming operations. Commonly used are two-point, three-point and four-point. The bearing and blade of the trimming knife are in a straight line, so it is very convenient and accurate to trim straight lines or curves. It is often used in woodworking operations. There is another milling cutter with a bearing above the blade, called a rear button cutter, which is very suitable for milling table operations.

3. Flat feather knife, the width from the blade to the bearing is only 6mm, which is narrower than the T-groove line knife. It saves more wood when splicing boards, so it is often used in splicing operations with half-groove edges.

4. Triangular shuttle knife, generally used to make dovetail tenon, can be used with dovetail tenon machine, can also be used to mill dovetail grooves, and dovetail splicing functions. The angle of the dovetail tenon is different due to the difference between soft and hard wood.
