Introduction to Milling Tools and their Application ... Tool coatings have an influence on the cutting process by increasing cutting speed and tool life. Coatings such as titanium nitride (TiN) increase the initial cost but reduce wear and increase tool life. Applied as a thin coating, TiN is used to harden and protect cutting surfaces.

A 45 degree lead angle facemill will produce a finer finish. – Use inserts with a larger radius. A toroidal cutter or copy mill can often leave a better finish than other insert geometries. – Unless the insert height on your face mill can be individually adjusted, a fly cutter often leaves the best surface finish.

The milling process requires a milling machine, workpiece, fixture, and cutter. The workpiece is a piece of pre-shaped material that is secured to the fixture, which itself is attached to a platform inside the milling machine. The cutter is a cutting tool with sharp teeth that is also secured in the milling machine and rotates at high speeds.

Abstract: Micro-scale milling is an essential fabrication method for miniaturized structures. However, little research has been conducted to gain a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of the micro-milling process. This study discusses the fundamental mechanisms of chip formation and cutting dynamics in micro-scale milling with a focus on the effects of the edge roundness of micro-tools.
