[0003] In the prior art, such as the single-edged micro milling cutter with chip removal groove disclosed in CN216881915U, a chip removal groove is provided on the lower side of the chip collection groove, and the chip collection groove is connected to the chip removal groove, which can clean up the waste chips generated by milling in a timely manner, avoid the accumulation of waste chips on the workpiece surface and cause secondary damage to the workpiece, and provide heat dissipation holes on the side of the cutter head near the cutting edge, which can dissipate heat from the cutter head and prevent high temperature from damaging it.
[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, it was found that the single-edged micro end mill with chip removal grooves has the following problems: Although the existing technology avoids chip accumulation by setting chip removal grooves and other components, in actual use, it only prevents chips from sticking to the machining points of the workpiece. Afterwards, the chips fly to the outer surface of the workpiece or even the worktable, requiring secondary cleaning. In view of this, a single-edged micro end mill with chip removal grooves is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a single-edged micro-milling cutter with a chip removal groove to solve the problem of waste chips scattering onto the outer surface of the workpiece or even the operating table, requiring secondary cleaning.
