Tips and Guidelines for Using Woodworking Carving Machine Tools

Aluminum plate cutting and processing

For aluminum sheet cutting, we recommend using single-flute dedicated aluminum end mills. These tools are non-stick during processing and offer high speed and efficiency.

For large-scale deep relief carving on materials such as cork, MDF, raw wood, PVC, and acrylic, we suggest using single-flute spiral ball end mills.

For burr-free cutting on both the top and bottom surfaces, we recommend using single-flute or double-flute up-and-down end mills.

When machining plywood and laminated boards, double-flute straight flute end mills are the ideal choice.

For acrylic mirror engraving, we recommend using diamond engraving tools.

For MDF cutting, double-flute large chip removal spiral end mills are a good choice. They feature two high-capacity chip removal flutes, and the double-flute design not only provides excellent chip removal but also maintains tool balance. High-density boards do not turn black or produce smoke during processing, and they have a long service life.

For acrylic cutting, single-flute spiral end mills perform exceptionally well. They offer high processing speed and efficiency, and are smokeless, odorless, and non-sticky, truly achieving environmental friendliness. Its special manufacturing process ensures that it does not chip when machining acrylic, producing extremely fine or even no cutting marks, resulting in a smooth and flat surface. For a matte finish, double- or triple-flute spiral end mills are recommended.

For machining high-density fiberboard and solid wood, serrated end mills are a suitable choice.

For precision small-scale relief carving, round-bottomed engraving cutters should be used.

Downcutting cutters perform well, ensuring a burr-free surface and preventing warping.

For rough machining of materials such as particleboard, multi-flute end mills are a suitable choice.
