Edge banding machine in woodworking is used in banding edges of desks, cabinets, wardrobes,s and straight-line furniture. The edge bander can be PVC, melamine, plywood, particle board, or MDF, increasing durability and giving the appearance of a solid or more valuable material. 

Pre Milling Cutter For Edgebander ( Diamond PCD Pre Milling Cutter, Pre-Milling Cutter For Edge bander) plays a crucial role in the edge banding process. They are primarily used to smooth out the uneven parts and residual lines, the ripple marks, burrs or non-vertical phenomena caused by the panel saw/cutting saw processing to achieve a better edge banding effect. Pre Milling Cutter For the Edgebander can be driven under the motor to promote the edge banding and the board fits more closely. it prepares the board for subsequent edge banding and processing. Here below is the main characteristics of Edge banding pre-milling cutters you need to know before purchasing them. 

Types of Pre Milling Cutter For Edgebander:

Welded Pre Milling Cutter For Edgebander: The blades are welded with diamond tips. The blades of these cutters have a metallic feeling and relatively low hardness. They have a long service life. 

Advantage:

Welded Pre Milling Cutter cost is lower than that of Indexable pre-milling cutters.

Disadvantage:

1. When one blade becomes dull, the entire cutter needs to be replaced significantly increasing replacement costs. 

2. Additionally, it produces a lot of noise during operation. 

3.Its weight increases the load, which is not energy-efficient or environmentally friendly.

Indexable Pre-milling Cutters: The cutter body is milled with dovetail slots for mounting the blade seats. 

Advantage:

1. The Indexable Pre-milling Cutters is lightweight, and it is highly precise when the blade is assembled. 

2. The aluminum alloy body reduces the loading of the motor, prolonging the motor's service life. 

3. Maintenance costs are low, you only need to replace the cutting blades, reducing repair time and costs. 

4. These cutters also produce less noise

5. The chips are directly sucked away by an exhaust fan, keeping the working area clean. 

6. They protect the laminated board from chipping, provide good surface quality, and extend the cutter's service life. 

Disadvantage:

Indexable Pre-milling cutters' cost is higher than that of welded pre-milling cutters. 

Design Differences of Pre-milling Cutters

Symmetrical Design: Some pre-milling cutters are symmetrical design. When one blade becomes dull, it can be interchanged with the other, saving the sharpening costs. However, these are suitable for boards within a certain thickness range. the board thickness cannot be over the thickness range. 

However, most pre-milling cutters for edge banders have an asymmetrical design, in order to be suitable for various boards’ thicknesses.

Teeth number for pre-milling cutters:

Commonly used configurations are Z3+3 and Z2+2. Generally, the more teeth a pre-milling cutter has, the better the cutting effect and the smoother the product surface. 

When selecting a pre-milling cutter, you can choose the appropriate one based on the above knowledge. RicoCNC can offer a series of pre-milling cutters, like
