Angle Milling Cutters
The angle milling cutters are used for cutting of chamfers, dovetails, V-notches, helical flutes and serrations.
They are made in the following types:
(1) Single-angle Milling Cutters have teeth on both the angled periphery and the vertical side face. These are made with angles of 30o, 45o and 60o to 85o in steps of 5o, with one side of the angle at 90o to the axis of the cutter. It is particularly suitable for producing straight tooth milling cutters and reamers.
(2) Double-angle Cutters have teeth on both angled surfaces, forming V-shaped cutting edge. Double-angle cutters usually have included angles of 45o, 60o and 90o. They are particularly adapted for cutting spiral grooves on a blank.
