Fräswerkzeugscheiben

Fräswerkzeugscheiben, often referred to as milling tool disks, are a type of cutting tool used in milling operations. They are characterized by their disc shape and the presence of cutting teeth or inserts along their periphery or on both sides. These tools are designed for machining various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood, by removing material through a rotational cutting action.

The primary function of a Fräswerkzeugscheibe is to create grooves, slots, or to cut through a workpiece. The width of the groove or slot is determined by the thickness of the milling tool disk. Different types of Fräswerkzeugscheiben exist, varying in diameter, tooth configuration, and material composition. Tooth designs can include straight teeth, helical teeth, or specialized inserts, each suited for specific cutting tasks and material properties.

The materials used for manufacturing these disks are typically hardened steels, often with coatings like titanium nitride (TiN) or diamond-like carbon (DLC) to enhance wear resistance and cutting performance. The choice of material and tooth design significantly impacts the tool's efficiency, lifespan, and the surface finish of the machined part. Fräswerkzeugscheiben are mounted on milling machines, such as horizontal milling machines or CNC machining centers, and are driven at high speeds to perform the cutting process. They are essential components in many manufacturing industries for precision machining.
