A milling cutter is a cutting tool for milling, which has blades in the form of a body with teeth. According to construction, milling cutters are classified into cylinder milling cutters, face milling cutters, worm milling cutters, end milling cutters, conical milling cutters, etc. Milling cutters may be used for machining pig iron, steel, copper, tempered and stainless steel, graphite, aluminum, and wood. The cutting part of the tool may be made of high-speed steel (HSS), hard alloys, ceramic metal and solid card wire. According to teeth types, milling cutters may be monolith (made of one material), welded (the back part and the cutting part are made of different materials and welded together), brazed (with brazed cutting surfaces), interlocking (connected with customary fastening arrangement), etc.
