Frequently asked questions
What is a face shell mill used for?
It is used for facing and corner machining on metal surfaces with universal milling machines.
The shell shape (with radially inserted teeth) allows for material removal with good finish and precise rake angle.
What material is the milling cutter made of?
Check the technical data sheet for the material: typically HSS or carbide (HM) for precision milling cutters.
HSS for general use, HSS-Co for hard steels, HM for series production and abrasive materials. The choice depends on intensity of use and processed material.
Which milling machines can it be mounted on?
It can be mounted on universal milling machines with BT, ISO, or direct taper. Check your machine's taper before purchasing.
For milling machines with Morse taper, an adapter collet chuck is required. Bernardo FM series universal milling machines have standard BT 30 or BT 40 tapers.
How much material can it remove per pass?
Typically 0.5-3 mm depth per pass, depending on the machine's power and the material's hardness.
On mild steel with a 2-3 kW milling machine, a depth of 1-2 mm is optimal. On hardened steels, reduce to 0.3-0.8 mm per pass. Cutting speed: 60-120 m/min on steel.
How is it lubricated during machining?
Use cutting oil or cooling emulsion applied directly to the cutting point. Coolant reduces heat and extends useful life.
On hard steels or thick materials, lubrication is essential: without coolant, the milling cutter overheats, loses sharpness, and can break prematurely. Recommended cutting speed: 20-30 m/min on mild steel.
