"Corn" face milling cutter for CNC machines.
A cutter for PCB is intended primarily for milling printed circuit boards along a contour, but the scope of such cutters is much wider: processing fiberglass and textolite, hard wood, laminated plastic, aluminum, composite materials.
The surface of the cutter is made in the form of pyramids, the sharp edges of which are cutting edges.
It should be noted that due to the lack of chip removal, the processing speed is low. But unlike multi-pass cutters, "corn" can handle almost any material, including abrasive ones. Strongly crush the chips, it is good to use for lined materials, for example, for foil-coated fiberglass, both one-sided and double-sided.
Another advantage is that this cutter does not pull out the cut parts.
Tungsten carbide cutting edge.
A protective titanium nitride (TiN) coating is applied to the cutting edge for increased abrasion resistance.
RCF type: the end of the cutter resembles a fishtail. Provides a smooth, flat surface when face cut after machining.
