Frézovat

Frézovat is a Czech verb that describes the process of machining a workpiece using a rotating cutting tool called a milling cutter. This manufacturing technique is employed to remove material and create precise shapes, slots, holes, and complex geometries on a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and wood.

The milling process involves feeding the workpiece against the rotating cutter or moving the cutter against a stationary workpiece. The shape and number of teeth on the milling cutter, along with its speed of rotation and the rate at which the material is fed, all determine the surface finish and accuracy of the resulting feature. Different types of milling operations exist, such as face milling, where the cutter rotates around an axis perpendicular to the workpiece surface, and end milling, where the cutter's axis is parallel to the workpiece surface.

Frézování is a fundamental process in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, due to its versatility and ability to produce intricate parts with high precision. Modern machinery for frézovat often utilizes computer numerical control (CNC) for automated and highly accurate machining.
