HIGH-FREQUENCY TOOTH PASS CUTTING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A cutting tool for cutting a material is provided with a cylindrical body having a cross-sectional diameter and a longitudinal rotating axis, and a plurality of teeth disposed on a circumference of the body, each tooth having a cutting edge and separated by a flute. The number of teeth is selected such that a ratio of the number of teeth to the diameter in millimeter (mm) is at least 0.75:1, that the cylindrical body is rotated with a tooth pass frequency of at least 400 teeth-per-second, and that the tool is used for machining in a way that all the material is removed at a rate of rough machining and in a manner to eliminate finishing pass.
