Why buy Composite Milling Cutters?
For higher tool life in applications with highly abrasive materials, milling/routing tools with diamond coating or cutting edges are required. Machining composites is a challenging tasks due to many varieties or combinations of materials involved, meaning there are many potential issues should you not select the correct tool. Some of the main things to be prepared for when machining composites include heat dissipation, delamination and their proneness to shattering. Material specific milling cutters feature dedicaed geometries that can combat some of these issues and ensure the machining process runs optimally whilst protecting the workpiece and cutting tool itself.
How to choose the right Composite Milling Cutter?
Composite milling cutters all feature some element of diamond to ensure hard wearing properties against some of the strongest metals to machine. However, for you to decide on which type of diamond cutter needed, that all depends on the application and the level of performance or tool life required. Please see below a summary of our ranges:
Diamond Coated Carbide - These milling cutters feaure a solid carbide substrate with diamond coating. Whilst the substrate doesn’t have the hardness properties of diamond, the coating gives a certain protection to ensure a stronger, more hard wearing cutting edge. This makes them ideal for short batch runs or composities with low glass/carbon content. They are also suitable for graphite machining.
PCD EXTREME (Polycrystalline) Diamond - These synthetically produced diamond cutters offer higher levels of hardness than diamond coated carbide and standard PCD tools. The laser ground ultra sharp cutting edge ensures excellent performance on composites and aluminium.
CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) Diamond - CVD is made from 99% pure diamond making it the hardest tool available. The near pure diamond coating ensures higher hardness, better wear resistance, smaller friction coefficient, higher thermal conductivity and better chemical and thermal stability compared to PCD alternatives. With up to 3 times the tool life compared to PCD, the CVD range is number 1 choice for the best performance on composite materials.
