Disc cutter is used for processing metal products: cutting, forming grooves and grooves. You can use it both at work and at home. The presented element is installed most often on a special machine.
Advantages of disc cutters and areas of their use
This product has a huge mass of advantages, such as:
- functionality (thanks to the different shape of the circles, you can process almost any metal);
- practicality (since the material from which the cutter is made is of very high quality, and the part itself is strong enough, the circle can work for a long time without additional sharpening);
- durability (the disc cutter breaks very rarely);
- fair price;
- widespread (you can buy the item at any hardware store).
As for the areas of use, there are quite a lot of them. For example, a disk cutter is used in industry (manufacturing of various products),laying communication pipes (for cutting material), for making holes and grooves in metal blanks.
Varieties of cutters
It should be noted that the presented product can be classified according to different parameters. For example, elements differ in the shape and size of the teeth: straight, helical and multidirectional. Their number can vary from 4 to 12 pieces. The speed of the machine often depends on this.
In addition, the following cutters can be distinguished:
- two-sided;
- trilateral;
- groove.
In the first two varieties, the teeth are on the cylindrical surface and on the ends. As for the groove cutter, an important parameter of the product is its width.
You can also select other types of these products. For example, a threaded disk cutter is designed for the manufacture of internal and external threads. Their pitch is determined by the structure of the disk.
HSS elements are used for cutting metals and alloys of different density and strength. They are made from a very durable material that has a high degree of sharpness. During application, the element can work for a long time without additional sharpening.
Carbide disc cutters provide high-quality metal processing, while they can serve for a long time.
Features of working with this product
No special rules orThere are no recommendations for the use of these cutters. Naturally, great care must be taken during their operation. A feature of such elements is that each tooth on the wheel works for a very short time. This is what makes milling different from other types of cutting work.
Another feature of the cutters is that they do not damage the workpiece during operation. Also, each tooth cuts chips of different thicknesses.
Disc cutting cutter for metal is used for processing various types of steel. The diameter of the elements in this case ranges from 16 to 62 cm. The thickness of the disk can be 1-6 mm. Naturally, an important parameter of the presented elements is their coating, which allows the wheel to be used for various jobs, while its surface is protected from damage and corrosion.
