Classification of commonly used cutting tools for machining equipment:
1、 Classification by workpiece processing surface
(1) Tools for processing various external surfaces: including turning tools, planers, milling cutters, external surface Broaches and files, etc;
(2) Hole processing tools: including drill, reamer, boring cutter, reamer and broach on inner surface;
(3) Thread processing tools: including taps, dies, automatic thread cutting heads, thread turning tools and thread milling tools;
(4) Gear processing tools: including hobs, gear shaping tools, gear shaving tools, bevel gear processing tools, etc;
(5) Cutting tools: including toothed circular saw blade, band saw, hacksaw, cutting lathe tool and saw blade milling cutter, etc.
2、 Classification according to cutting motion mode and corresponding blade shape
(1) General tools: such as turning tools, planers, milling tools (excluding formed turning tools, formed planers and formed milling tools), boring tools, drill bits, reamers, saws, etc;
(2) Forming cutter: the cutting edge of this kind of cutter has the same or nearly the same shape as the cross section of the workpiece to be processed, such as forming turning cutter, forming planer, forming milling cutter, broach, conical reamer and various thread processing cutters;
(3) Generating tool: use generating method to process the tooth surface of gear or similar workpiece, such as hob, gear shaper, gear shaving cutter, bevel gear planer and bevel gear milling cutter disc
