Scoring cutters are a type of cutting tool used for precision cutting of materials such as metal, plastic, wood and others. These tools have specific geometries that allow different material removal operations to be performed. The process of their production includes several important stages:
Production of bent edge cutters:
Selection of Material : An important step in the manufacture of beveled scoring cutters is the selection of a suitable material for manufacture. Typically, high-strength materials such as high-speed steel (HSS), carbide materials (tungsten carbide) and others are used.
Design Geometry : The design and geometry of the cutting edges are determined during the design phase. This includes determining the cutting angles, the radius of the bent part and other parameters.
Manufacturing of Blanks : At the initial stage, blanks are made that will be turned into future bent cutting tools.
Cutting Edge Forming : Specialized machines and equipment are used to form cutting edges on workpieces. They create the specific geometry necessary for precise machining.
Heat Treatment : Completed workpieces are subjected to heat treatment, which increases their hardness and wear resistance.
Sharpening and Calibration : After heat treatment, tools are sharpened and calibrated to ensure accurate dimensions and geometry.
Coating (optional) : Some rebated scoring cutters can be coated with special coatings, such as titanium nitride or diamond coating, to improve their performance.
Applications of Bent Scoring Cutters:
Bent scoring cutters are used in a variety of applications and industries, including:
Metalworking : Used for precision machining of metal parts, including cutting threads and creating complex grooves.
Woodworking : Used to create high-quality cutting edges on wooden products and form decorative elements.
Production of plastic parts : Bent scoring cutters are used for precision machining of plastic parts.
Turning and milling : Often used in turning and milling to create complex shapes and profiles.
Construction and repair : Used in construction and repair work for precision processing of materials.
Scoring cutters are an essential tool for precise and high-quality machining of a variety of materials. Their production requires high precision and specialized equipment to ensure the quality and efficiency of this tool.
