MT Combi Shell Mill Arbor
A shell mill arbor is a device used in machining operations to hold shell milling cutters. Shell milling cutters are cutting tools that operate similar to end mills but have a cylindrical shape and multiple cutting edges on the periphery of the cutter.
A shell mill arbor consists of a shank, which is held in the milling machine spindle, and a bore into which the shell milling cutter is inserted. The arbor typically has a set of flats or serrations on the shank to prevent the arbor from spinning in the spindle during operation.
Shell mill arbors come in various sizes and configurations depending on the specific application. They are typically made from high-speed steel or carbide to withstand the high cutting forces generated during milling operations.
To use a shell mill arbor, the arbor is inserted into the milling machine spindle and secured with a drawbar. The shell milling cutter is then inserted into the bore of the arbor and secured with screws or clamps. The milling machine is then operated, and the cutter rotates around the workpiece, removing material to create the desired shape or size.
Overall, shell mill arbors are essential components in milling operations that require the use of shell milling cutters.
