About Side and Face Cutter
Side and Face Cutters are designed with cutting teeth on its side as well as its circumference. They are made in varying diameters and widths depending on the application. The teeth on the side allow the cutter to make unbalanced cuts (cutting on one side only) without deflecting the cutter as would happen with a slitting saw or slot cutter (no side teeth).

Precision Engineering for Versatile MillingCrafted to ISO DIN 885 standards, our Side and Face Cutters offer robust solutions for multiple industries. With flexibility in teeth arrangement, diameter, and width, these cutters cater to diverse milling tasks. Sharp cutting edges ensure smoother slots and faces, whether you need standard or custom specifications. Designed for moderate cutting forces and machine operation, they guarantee both strength and precision on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.
Enhanced Durability and Finish QualityManufactured from high-speed steel or carbide, our cutters exhibit impressive hardness (HRC 5060) for outstanding wear resistance and longevity. The bright, uncoated finish or optional customized coatings contribute to clean, accurate cuts and improved tool life. Operators benefit from precision tolerances (0.02 mm) and high cutting accuracy, setting a benchmark for quality and reliability in milling operations.
FAQs of Side and Face Cutter:
Q: How do I select the appropriate Side and Face Cutter for my milling operation?
A: Selecting the right cutter depends on your material, milling application, and desired slot width. Assess the cutters diameter, width, number of teeth, and whether you need a straight or staggered teeth pattern. For specialized needs, you can specify bore size or coating requirements. Always ensure compatibility with your milling machine.
Q: What materials can the Side and Face Cutter handle effectively?
A: This cutter is suitable for machining steel, cast iron, as well as non-ferrous metals. Choose high-speed steel or carbide material based on your production volume and hardness requirements for optimal performance.
Q: When should I opt for a customized bore size or coating for the cutter?
A: Customized bore sizes are recommended when standard 22 mm does not fit your machines spindle. Opt for customized coatings if specific applications require extra wear resistance or reduced friction, especially during intensive or frequent use.
Q: Where can I use the Side and Face Cutter in my facility?
A: These cutters are ideal for slotting and side-face milling on CNC or vertical milling machines. Theyre employed in metal fabrication shops, auto-parts manufacturing, and general engineering workshops across India and abroad.
Q: What benefits do straight versus staggered teeth offer?
A: Straight teeth are well-suited for general slotting and light-duty cutting, providing smoother finishes. Staggered teeth improve chip evacuation and allow for heavier, more aggressive milling operations, reducing the risk of cutter overload.
Q: How do I ensure optimal cutting accuracy and tool longevity?
A: Maintain proper cutting speeds (80120 m/min depending on material), use the correct cutter width for your slot, and ensure your machine is well-calibrated. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn tools will help maintain accuracy (0.05 mm) and prolong cutter life.
