DLC coating carbide roughing and finishing end mill router for wood
MDF Plywood
Introduction:
This is a kind of costomized 3 flutes carbide end mill which can be
used for rogh milling and finish milling at the same time. Don't
need to change end mill during processing. It's mainly used for
cutting the materials lilke MDF, Plywood.
Features:
1. DLC Coating Advantages for Woodworking
Ultra-Low Friction: Coefficient of friction <0.1 reduces heat buildup in resinous
materials
Non-Stick Surface: Prevents pitch/resin adhesion (critical for MDF and plywood glue
lines)
Enhanced Hardness: 3,000-4,000 HV (vs. 1,500-2,000 HV for standard carbide)
Chemical Inertness: Resists corrosive compounds in treated wood and adhesives
2. Tool Geometry Optimization
Roughing End Mills
| Parameter | Specification | Rationale |
|---|
| Flute Count | 3 flutes | Balances chip load and evacuation |
| Helix Angle | 35°-45° | Reduces harmonic vibration |
| Rake Angle | 12°-15° positive | Aggressive material removal |
| Edge Prep | 0.05-0.1mm hone | Prevents edge chipping |
3. Cutting Parameters (CNC Router Applications)
| Material | RPM | Feed Rate (IPM) | DOC (×D) | WOC (×D) | Chip Load (IPT) |
|---|
| MDF | 18,000-22,000 | 400-600 | 1.0-1.5 | 0.3-0.5 | 0.008-0.012 |
| Plywood | 16,000-20,000 | 350-500 | 0.8-1.2 | 0.25-0.4 | 0.007-0.010 |
| Hardwood | 14,000-18,000 | 300-450 | 0.6-1.0 | 0.2-0.35 | 0.006-0.009 |
Note: D = Tool Diameter; DOC = Depth of Cut; WOC = Width of Cut
4. Special Design Features
Anti-Vibration Grooves: High-frequency dampening slots (patented designs available)
Hybrid Cutting Edge: Combination of shearing (upper) and scraping (lower) geometry
Thermal Barrier: 2µm AlOx interlayer between DLC and substrate
5. Performance Comparison vs. Standard Tools
| Metric | DLC-Coated | Uncoated Carbide | Improvement |
|---|
| Tool Life | 800-1,200 hours | 200-300 hours | 300-400% |
| Surface Ra | 0.8-1.2µm | 1.5-2.5µm | 40-50% |
| Resin Buildup | 0.1mg/hour | 1.2mg/hour | 92% reduction |
6. Maintenance Protocol
Cleaning: Use alkaline-based tool cleaners (pH 9-11) every 8 operating
hours
Inspection: Check for micro-chipping with 20× magnification weekly
Reconditioning: Professional edge re-honing recommended after 400 hours
Typical Applications:
Engraving & Detail Work (e.g., signs, inlays).
Plastic & Acrylic Cutting (reduces melting).
MDF & Plywood Routing (clean edges).
PVC & Soft Aluminum (with proper feeds/speeds).
