Many brothers just engaged in CNC machining programming don't know what tools to use when programming, they don't know what tools to use when encountering curved surfaces, grooves, holes so on. I believe that many inexperienced novices can't understand this matter. Hongweisheng precision technology has more than ten years of experience in CNC machining field, its products include medical equipment parts, UAV parts, robot parts automobiles Precision parts, etc. have accumulated a lot of experience in the use of cutting tools. I'll share it with you here today. Of course, it's hard for those who just started to digest what cutting tools are needed according to what process they are processing. So hongweisheng only introduces what cutting tools are used to process grooves today.

What kind of tool is used for machining grooves in vertical machining center.

It is normal to use the vertical machining center to process grooves. Of course, only the vertical machining center can process grooves, but other CNC machines can also process grooves. The grooves mentioned here can be generally understood as straight grooves. The experienced programming engineers who process straight grooves can use the flat milling cutter to process them. Using the flat milling cutter to process straight grooves only has good chip removal ability, but also has high processing accuracy, can control the processing accuracy well. Therefore, it is generally better to use flat milling cutter to process grooves.

What other CNC machines can be grooved

In addition to the vertical machining center can add grooves, there are many CNC machine tools can also process grooves, such as: CNC milling machine, gantry machining center so on, these CNC machine tools can also process grooves, because there are many small CNC machine tools that can process grooves, they are listed one by one.
