Cutting Spiral Teeth in Milling Cutter
This operation shows the arrangement for cutting teeth in a right-hand spiral milling cutter.
The work is 6 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, and an angular cutter 3 inches in diameter is employed. An angle of 1114° is desired, and the saddle is accordingly set to that angle and the head is geared to give a lead of 48".
The work is mounted on an arbor that is dogged to the spiral head spindle, and care is taken that there is no lost motion between the spindle and work.
