This wood milling cutter is a straight three flute cutter with chip breakers. The milling tool is made of solid carbide with a diamond-cut design, and you can use it for CNC woodworking. Our customers use the milling cutter, for example, for fine milling work in:
Wood model making
Guitar making
Bow making
or for the production of children’s furniture
The perfect wood milling cutter
You can use the solid carbide wood milling cutter for milling wood and also machining foam and plastic. Due to a straight face grinding, the milling tool leaves a smooth surface after woodworking, both on the plane surface and the flanks.
Tips for using the wood milling cutter
Wood is a naturally grown raw material. Accordingly, different criteria must be taken into account when machining wood on CNC machines than when machining metal or plastic:
Depending on the wood type, wood has very high strength and consequently a high load-bearing capacity. Depending on the project and its requirements, you can choose between softwood or hardwood. The variety of different woods also makes it so popular as a material for milling.
Beware of knotholes: When choosing a material, choosing a wood with as few knotholes as possible is essential. (Unless they are deliberately desired.) In addition, the wood should be dry and seasoned.
A clean CNC machine: Before starting woodworking, it is also essential to ensure that the CNC machine is clean. You should remove all excess lubricant residues and visible grease from the work surface before milling.
Milling without liquid cooling: Basically, you can say that woodworking with a wood milling cutter takes place without liquid cooling.
