In the engine casing manufacturing process, precision cutting tools are used to ensure that the parts meet high-precision and high-quality requirements. The following are common cutting tools used in engine case making.
Milling cutter
Milling cutters are tools used to cut metal, remove excess material, and form the desired shape. In engine case making, milling cutters are used for precise cuts and shapes, such as cutting flat surfaces, notches or complex curved surfaces.
Note when using:
Choose a milling cutter suitable for the material and type of work being processed.
Control the appropriate cutting speed and feed rate to obtain ideal cutting results and surface finish.
Use coolant to reduce heat build-up and extend tool life.
drill
Drill bits are primarily used for drilling holes in metal. When the engine case is manufactured, holes need to be drilled for screws or other components to be installed.
Note when using:
Choose the correct size and type of drill bit to match the hole diameter and depth requirements.
Use a stable feed rate to avoid drilling deflections or irregular hole edges.
Regularly check drill bit wear and keep it sharp to improve drilling quality.
Boring tools
Boring tools are used for the finishing of machined holes to achieve high-precision dimensions and smooth hole wall surfaces. In engine case making, boring tools are used to ensure hole diameter accuracy, especially for holes that assemble critical components.
Note when using:
Precise positioning of the center of the hole ensures centering of the boring process.
Control boring speed and feed rate to avoid overheating and workpiece damage.
Select the appropriate boring tool based on hole size and required accuracy.
Chamfer milling cutter
Chamfer cutters are used to cut bevels on metal edges to remove sharp edges or prepare them for assembly. In engine case manufacturing, chamfers help improve assembly quality and reduce wear on components.
Note when using:
Choose the appropriate chamfer angle and size.
Control chamfer depth to ensure consistency and accuracy.
When performing chamfering operations, keep the workpiece stable and avoid unnecessary movement.
Engraving milling cutter
Engraving cutters are used to create detailed engravings or markings on metal surfaces. During the engine casing production process, it can be used to engrave manufacturing numbers, logos or other important information.
Note when using:
Choose the right engraving router to meet different detail and depth requirements.
Control scoring speed and pressure to ensure clear and consistent engraving results.
Make sure the workpiece is firmly fixed to prevent movement or dislocation during the engraving process.
