Marófejet

Marófejet is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "milling head" or "cutting head" in English. It refers to a specialized tool used in machining operations, primarily for milling. A marófejet is typically attached to a milling machine and features one or more cutting edges designed to remove material from a workpiece. These tools come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, each suited for specific milling tasks such as facing, grooving, or creating complex profiles.

The design of a marófejet dictates its function. For instance, end mills, a common type of marófejet, have cutting teeth on their circumference and often on their end, allowing for plunging and cutting on the sides. Shell mills are designed to be mounted on an arbor and are used for larger surface milling operations. Thread milling cutters are specialized marófejek used to produce internal or external threads. The material of the marófejet itself, commonly high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, is chosen based on the material being cut and the desired cutting speeds and tool life. Proper selection and maintenance of a marófejet are crucial for achieving desired machining accuracy and efficiency.
