[0028] In this embodiment, by setting the cutting part 1 and the clamping part 2 as an integral structure, the integral milling tool has a compact structure, and the tool base material is selected from ultra-fine cemented carbide. This type of tool has good rigidity and can effectively reduce the cutting load when processing materials, improve processing efficiency, and appropriately shorten the length of the lateral cutting edge 5 to achieve the purpose of shortening the tool overhang and enhancing the rigidity of the tool. By setting the runout value of the cutting part 1 to ≤0.003μm and the runout value of the clamping part 2 to ≤0.002μm, the stability of the processing state and the processing effect can be maintained.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the width of the first lateral back blade 521 is 0.1~0.4mm, the back angle is 8°~10°, the width of the first lateral back blade 521 is 0.1~0.4mm, the front end is small and the rear end is large, the back angle is 9°, the end of the chip groove extends along the helix angle to the clamping part 2, the length of the auxiliary chip groove is 5~6mm, the width of the first bottom back blade 621 is 0.1~0.15mm, the back angle is 8°~10°, the width of the first bottom back blade 621 is 0.12mm, and the back angle is 9°.
[0031] In this embodiment, when machining the sidewall of a workpiece, the first lateral relief face 521 plays the primary cutting role. By setting the width d of the first lateral relief face 521 to 0.1-0.4 mm and the relief angle α to 9°, the strength of the lateral cutting edge 5 can be effectively enhanced, allowing the sidewall cutting edge 5 to fully engage the edge, making the cutting tool more agile and stable when cutting the workpiece.

The chip groove can effectively assist the milling tool to quickly remove chips, and the angle of the bottom cutting edge 6 is the same, which can ensure effective vibration reduction during the milling process and further enhance the stability of the milling tool.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment: the integral milling tool has a compact structure, and the tool base material is made of ultra-fine carbide.

The clamping part 2 is in the form of a cylinder, which is used to cooperate with the inner hole of the machine tool spindle clamp. When processing the side wall of the workpiece, the first lateral back tool face 521 plays a major cutting role. By setting the width d of the first lateral back tool face 521 to 0.1~0.4mm and the back angle α to 9°, the strength of the lateral cutting edge 5 can be effectively enhanced, so that the side wall cutting edge 5 can fully engage the edge, and the cutting tool can cut the workpiece more lightly and stably. When processing the bottom of the workpiece, the first bottom back blade face 621 plays a major cutting role. By setting the width of the first bottom back blade face to 0.12mm and the back angle β to 9°, the strength of the bottom cutting edge 6 can be effectively enhanced, so that the bottom cutting edge 6 can fully engage the edge, and the cutting tool can cut the workpiece more lightly and stably. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the cutting process, a reasonable chip groove and taper angle must be designed to force the chips to break forcefully during the cutting process. By setting the taper angle to 30°, the cutting process can be ensured to proceed smoothly, forcing the chips to break forcefully during the cutting process. The shape of the chip groove is an R-shaped parabolic shape, which ensures the rapid discharge of chips during the cutting process, avoids tool breakage due to chip blockage, and prevents scratches on the machined surface caused by flying chips, so that the cutting process is smooth and withstands less vibration. The chip groove can effectively assist the milling tool in rapid chip removal. The length of the lateral cutting edge 5 is appropriately shortened to shorten the tool overhang and enhance the rigidity of the tool. The angle of the bottom cutting edge 6 is the same, which can ensure effective vibration reduction during the milling process. By setting the run-out value of the cutting part 1 to ≤0.003μm and the run-out value of the clamping part 2 to ≤0.002μm, the stability of the processing state and the processing effect can be maintained.
