Concept:

In milling operations, different types of cutters are used based on the task at hand. For parting off (cutting through a workpiece) or cutting very thin slots, the cutter must be:

  • Narrow (thin blade)
  • Capable of precise cuts
  • Able to separate (part off) material cleanly

Metal Slitting Cutter:

  • Specifically designed for cutting narrow slots and parting operations
  • Resembles a circular saw blade
  • Comes in various thicknesses, typically very thin
  • Ideal for grooving, slitting, and cutting off in light-duty or precision milling tasks

Other options explained:

  • Angle milling cutter: Used for angular cuts and V-grooves.
  • Plain milling cutter: Used for wide, flat surfaces—not thin slotting.
  • Fly milling cutter: Ideal for large surface finishes, not slotting.
