A milling cutter 1 with a directed coolant delivery system is disclosed. The milling cutter 1 may have a plurality of coolant ducts 40 which span from a centrally located reservoir 42 or distribution point within the body 20 of the milling cutter 1 to a series of recesses 10 on the exterior of the body 20. Coolant nozzles 50 are inserted into a countersunk portion 51 between the coolant duct 40 and the recesses 10. The countersunk portions 51 provide protection for the coolant nozzles 50. Each coolant nozzle 50 has a bore 58 which may be narrower than the coolant duct 40 or alternatively may have a bore 58 and a restriction 60. Nozzles of the present invention provide consistent streams of coolant to the to the tool-workpiece interface to enable precise adjustment of the streams of a coolant from a position close to the tool-workpiece interface.
A milling cutter comprising:
A milling cutter comprising:
The milling cutter of claim 16, further comprising a step between the discharge end and the countersunk portion, wherein the head of the coolant nozzle has a diameter larger than the threaded portion of the coolant nozzle, wherein the head of the coolant nozzle seats on the step of the coolant duct.
A coolant nozzle for use in milling cutter comprising:
