Rigidity and clamping: When machining with a three sided milling cutter, the cutting force is high, and the workpiece and machine fixture must be very firm. The tool itself must also be installed firmly to prevent vibration.
Layered cutting: Although it has good rigidity, it is still recommended to perform layered milling when milling deep grooves, rather than milling to full depth at once, to protect the tool and machine tool.
Cooling and chip removal: When processing metal, it is necessary to use sufficient cutting fluid and pay attention to timely cleaning of chips to prevent them from blocking the groove and damaging the tool and workpiece surface.
Milling method:
Shunmilling (recommended): Smooth cutting, good surface quality, long tool life. But it is required that the machine tool feed system has no gaps.
Reverse milling: The cutting impact is significant, but it can prevent the workpiece from being pulled up, making it suitable for old machine tools or situations where clamping is not very secure.
