HSS T-Slot Milling Cutter

High-speed-steel T-slot cutter for machining T-slots, grooves and similar features on milling machines and CNC equipment. A wide range of cutter diameters and slot widths is available.

How to Select

Confirm the required cutter diameter and slot width.
Check shank diameter and neck clearance against the prepared access slot.
For T-slot machining, prepare the entry slot first so the neck and shank can enter the cut.
Use lower cutting speed and controlled feed for HSS tooling, particularly in harder materials.

Best Use

This product is useful where a broad HSS size range, toughness and flexible slot-width selection are more important than maximum cutting speed.

Specifications

A wide range of T-slot cutter diameters and cutting widths is available.

For multi-piece options, specifications may vary according to the selected set. If exact sizes are required, provide the required specifications with the order.

The Shank diameter of D35mm is 16 and 20mm.

When the shank diameter is φ6~φ10, the diameter of neck is generally about 1mm smaller;
Shank Dia. φ 12,------about 2mm smaller;
φ 16-----about 3mm smaller;
φ 20----- about 4mm smaller.
There will be some difference between different specifications.

T-Slot Cutter Details

-Usually for milling T-slots in the tables and beds of machine tools and similar applications.
-The tools have staggered teeth when Dia. of cut ＞ 14mm.
-A rugged design with free cutting features ,with alternate side cutting teeth for maximum chip clearance.
-High speed steel material, provide rapid chip removal. Used for milling low-carbon steel, aluminum, copper, iron and non ferrous materials, works well on aluminum.

Machining Notes

-Make sure the shank of the cutter is clamped on the collet properly. A vertical slot must be cut first, so that the neck and shank can enter the cut.
-High speed steel milling cutter is suitable for low speed and low feed processing.
-If the processed material is hard, please reduce the cutting depth and feed.
-If cutter burning, please also reduce the processing speed.Overheating of the tool will reduce the hardness of the tool, resulting in blade collapse.
