Frequently asked questions
What is a face milling cutter used for?
It performs flat surfacing of metal surfaces on universal milling machines, removing material in controlled layers.
It is the main tool for bringing a metal surface to planar tolerance and parallelism. The quality of the finish depends on the feed rate and the number of passes.
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 material being worked.
Which milling machines can it be mounted on?
It can be mounted on universal milling machines with BT, ISO cone or direct attachment. Check your machine's attachment before purchasing.
For milling machines with Morse taper, a collet chuck adapter is required. Bernardo universal milling machines in the FM series have standard BT 30 or BT 40 attachment.
How much material can it remove per pass?
Typically 0.5-3 mm depth per pass, depending on machine power and material 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 service 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.
