GRINDING OF CUTTING TOOLS WITH A CONSTANT RAKE ANGLE

摘要

A method of grinding a surface of a flute (3) on a cutting tool (2) over a range of tool diameters using a grinding machine having a rotatable grinding wheel (1) that is adapted to move relative to the cutting tool. The method includes determining a machine path of the grinding wheel and rotating the grinding wheel and moving it along the machine path to grind a flute surface having a substantially constant rake angle.The invention also relates to a CNC tool grinding machine and a cutting tool.
