3. Routing machine tools

The selected tool always depends on the nature of the processing operation. Single- and double-edged tools are used for milling operations with a routing machine.

Single-edged tools permit a variety of setting values and can be simply resharpened. Such tools must be clamped into an eccentric chuck, otherwise chip removal is not possible.

Double-edged tools can be clamped into an eccentric chuck. Only one tool cutter operates and, as in the case of single-edged tools, the knife cutting circle can be variously set. When using a centrical chuck both tool cutters operate and the knife cutting circle remains constant.


Figure 7

(1) Single-edged tool
(2) Double-edged tool

Tools with a taper shank or tap shaft can only be centrically chucked.


Figure 8

(1) Tool with tap shank
(2) Tool with cylinder shank
(3) Tool with taper shank

Why does only one cutter operate during chip removal given the eccentric cucking of a double-edged tool?
