Metal cutting and finishing jobs in manufacturing need the right tools for flawless execution. Sigma Toolings offers a wide range of standard toolings to perform these tasks to perfection. Our compact, high-speed chamfer tools offer a durable and dependable fit for plunging and milling operations.

What is the process and purpose of chamfering operation?

Chamfering operations are done to machine the edge of the workpiece and provide it a beveled edge instead of sharp corners. The workpiece is held in the lathe machine and rotated in an anticlockwise direction along the lathe axis. After this, the chamfer tool is fed in the direction towards the workpiece. The edge of the tool comes in contact with the workpiece to remove metal. Chamfering operation is performed before threading operation on the workpiece to avoid damaging it. The chamfering operation helps the threading tools to more easily through the workpiece during threading operations.

How and why is the plunge milling operation performed?

Plunge milling involves cutting into the workpiece straight from the top similar to a boring operation. Here, cutting is done by the end of the tool rather than the side. Plunge milling is done in cases where vibrations make side milling impossible. Plunge milling is done when the material stability is bad and the material is difficult to cut, and when the power or torque of the machine is limited. The power consumption and noise level for plunge milling is lower than other milling methods, and the change of cutting force from radial to axial offers much more rigid cutting.
