Hey folks, here's a subject I'm not actually experienced in: production grinding of carbide cutters... Anyone have background in this? I've started with RFQs from leading manufacturers of the relevant equipment, the goal here is to make a single type of cutter (1/4" diameter O-flute) as consistently as possible with minimal supervision, in batch sizes in the low hundreds.
Any personal recommendations for the equipment? Success stories? Horror stories?
Geometry wise, we have collected enough data from years of cutting aluminum with so many styles of these that we should be able to get that determined fairly well. Then it's just a matter of proving out a reliable program to produce desired geometry.
