Single tooth cutter
A single tooth milling cutter is a special milling tool in machining technology that only has a single cutting edge. Single tooth cutters are primarily used for machining materials that place special demands on the cutting conditions, such as very hard or brittle materials.
The simple cutting geometry leads to greater precision, as fewer cutting edges are engaged and therefore less vibration and deviations occur.
Single tooth cutters are often used for roughing and for machining plastics, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. They are also widely used in the aerospace industry and in medical technology.
Due to the single cutting edge, the cutting forces are lower. This makes it easier to machine delicate workpieces.
The chips are removed more easily.
Single tooth cutters are available in various geometries to fulfil specific requirements.
