How to choose woodworking milling cutter?

1. Wood material
The objects of wood cutting are solid wood and wood composite materials. Solid wood can be divided into soft wood, hard wood and modified wood, etc.; wood composite materials include veneer laminate, plywood, particle board, oriented strand board, large particle board, gypsum particle board, cement particle board, hardboard, medium density fiberboard, high density fiberboard, blockboard, glued composite materials, etc. Some wood or wood composite workpieces also need to undergo single-sided or double-sided veneer decoration.

2. Cutting direction
When cutting solid wood, wood cutting is divided into longitudinal, transverse, end-to-end and longitudinal-end, longitudinal-transverse and transverse-end cutting according to the direction of the blade relative to the wood fiber.

3. Tool and workpiece stability
The stability of the tool and workpiece during the cutting process includes several aspects. The stability of the workpiece refers to the smooth feeding of the wood workpiece during the cutting process without jumping. The measures taken to enhance the stability of the workpiece mainly include lowering the center of gravity of the workpiece and increasing the contact area.

4. Processing surface quality requirements
The surface quality of wood workpieces includes surface roughness, geometric dimensions and shape position accuracy.
