(1) Select the cutting tool according to the parts material. Such as turning or milling high strength steel, titanium, stainless steel parts, recommended to choose wear better indexable carbide cutting tools.

(2) Select the tool according to the processing stage. That means roughing stage to remove the margin-based, should choose good rigidity, low precision tools, semi-finishing and finishing stage,in order to ensure accuracy and quality of the parts, should choose high durability, precision compared high cutter, roughing stage with an accuracy of a minimum of the tool, and finishing stages with the highest precision tool. If the rough, finishing choose the same tools, the choice of finishing out down roughing tool is recommended since finishing out of the cutter blade portion wear mostly mild wear, abrasion coating wiper, continued use will affect the finishing processing quality, but little effect on roughing.

(3) Select the tool and geometric parameters according to the characteristics of the processing area. In part structure permits should use large-diameter aspect ratio of the value of small tools; cutting thin-walled, thin-walled parts through the center of the cutter blade should be enough to end the heart angle to reduce parts of the cutting tool and cutting force. Processing of aluminum, copper and other softer material part should be chosen before the angle slightly larger mills, teeth nor more than four teeth.

When selecting the tool, to make the size of the tool with the workpiece surface dimensions to adapt. Production, surrounding the outline of the plane parts processing, often using end mills; milling plane, to be elected carbide blade cutter; machining boss, when grooves for high speed steel milling cutter; machining of rough surfaces or rough When the hole, you can select inserts carbide inserts corn milling; for some three-dimensional surface and change the contour of the bevel processing, often using ball mills, annular cutter, conical cutters and disc cutter.

During freeform, since ball ends cutting tool is zero, therefore, to ensure precision cutting line spacing is generally very small, so the ball end mill is suitable for surface finishing. The end mill processed either on the surface or in the processing efficiency of quality far superior ball-cutter, therefore, to ensure that parts processing, but cut the premise for roughing and semi-finishing surfaces, try to choose a side cutter. In addition, the durability and precision tools and tool price relationship great, and we must be noted that in most cases, choose a good tool despite an increase in tooling costs, but the resulting machining quality and efficiency , it can greatly reduce the cost of the entire process.
