Home master. We select an electric milling hand machine (milling machine), how to choose the milling cutter correctly, use a router

The electric milling hand machine (milling cutter) is well known to home masters. Certain skills in working with the tool and the presence of the router allows you to perform a variety of operations associated with a variety of finishing works, the independent manufacture of furniture or profiles. What are the criteria for choosing a router for work?

About the application of a manual router

An irreplaceable tool for fans to make by hand is a manual milling machine (electric milling hand machine).

The manual miter is designed for processing wood, plastic, as well as artificial stone and metal. The tool's capabilities are diverse, because they combine the work of a jig saw, a drill and a plane. The main operations performed using a router are:
  • Decorative design with the use of copiers and templates
  • Forming excavations for carpentry hardware
  • quarter selection and rough alignment
  • quality grinding and engraving
  • profiling straight or curly
  • the device of rebates, splines and grooves
  • Drilling grooves and holes
  • cutting of connecting studs.

The list of skills of the manual router can be continued by applying the necessary rigging and mastering the main technological capabilities of the universal tool. Therefore, the milling cutter can easily be called a find for the home master. Buy a router that means to ensure the filigree and accuracy of the finishing works in the apartment.

Specifications and design of the router

The main operating elements of the router are the electric motor and the milling cutter. In this case, the milling cutter performs rotational movements while the workpiece is progressive.

Manual milling cutters are designed for precise work, which are adjusted by the depth of cut parameter, so the main technical characteristics become important.
  The technical characteristics of the instrument are:
  • power and speed of rotation
  • number of revolutions
  • depth of processing
  • diameter of the cutting tool.

These parameters are a quantitative quantity that conditionally divides the milling cutters into three types: the upper submersible, the edge and the lamella.
  The version of the top submersible router is the most in demand, because the movement of the engine during operation is carried out along the guide.

Rigid springs in the construction allow to lower or raise the tool without detaching from the workpiece. Thus, physical work is greatly facilitated.

Milling cutter  It is used exclusively for chamfering, grooving and finishing turning the edges of the workpiece.

Milling cutter  Used in the manufacture of connecting grooves.

The hand-held wood milling cutter consists of the following parts:
  • Powerful casing with electric motor
  • Copy sleeve
  • Guide rails
  • Handholds
  • Start buttons
  • soles
  • stops
  • milling cutters.
  The design of the hand-held router resembles a real milling machine, only made in miniature and with advanced features.

When choosing a milling hand machine, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the most popular models are rod mills. The most useful when choosing a manual router, you can name these tips:
  • the power of the milling motor will not play a major role if the preference is given to the hand tool
  • An undeniable advantage is the possibility and availability of adjustment of the operating speed
  • Presence of a smooth adjustment of the depth of the tool immersion.

So, for example, the milling cutter is specially designed for milling with its own hands the seats for the stop valves in door leaves. The uniqueness of the instrument is confirmed by practice.
  Quick setting and locking systems allow the milling machine to be mounted on the door leaf and to slots in the shortest possible time.

However, to accurately determine the choice of a manual router, the main attention should be given to the quality and functions of the cutting tool - milling cutters.

Cutters for router

The equipment for a manual router is manufactured in an industrial way from high-quality materials that are characterized by a strictly calculated cutting edge geometry.

The cutting edge of the milling cutters is treated with special diamond disks to an accuracy of 0.02 mm. The structure of the carbide of the milling cutter is characterized by uniformity and fine grain, which provides resistance to possible mechanical damage to the cutting edge. The milling cutter is installed in the milling cutter at a right angle, relative to the support table. This arrangement of the cutter for metal or wood allows to finally get the end or edge in a strictly perpendicular position relative to the plastic material.

A wide range of milling cutters for manual mills provides the ability to manually create complex profiles, as well as to use mills of a simple configuration for roughing.

Distinguish the following names of equipment for hand milling:
  • for the processing of furniture panels and wood ties
  • for processing straps and spikes when connecting elements at an angle
  • slotted cutters made of hard-alloy materials with teeth
  • end carbide cutters straight for processing wood, plywood and chipboard
  • Carbide end mills for quarter selection and chamfering
  • edge milling cutters for wood
  • Edge rebate, designed for quarter, rebate and groove extraction

and many other models of mills, the range of which is replenished every year with new copies.

What kind of cutters you need to choose for a home wizard will prompt a video.

Thus, for domestic use it is recommended to choose a manual milling cutter, which can be divided into types:
  • highly specialized
  • multifunctional.
