Side Cutters
A side cutter is a tool that cuts a workpiece while rotating a cutting edge attached to the front or side of a disk. Use a side cutter for efficient milling of long, deep grooves, etc. There are various shaped cutting edges, such as staggered blades with excellent heavy cutting with alternating left and right helix angles, double angular types with cutting edges of equal angle on both sides ideal for V-grooving, and those with only one cutting angle. There are also ordinary blades, strong blades for heavy cutting, carbide tipped types, etc. Check that the inner diameter of the side cutter is sufficient to fit the machine tool spindle diameter, and select the thickness, size, material, specifications, etc. according to the workpiece to be cut.
