After hardening, the hard machining of the tap begins. First the flutes are ground on a flute grinding machine. Then the thread is ground on a thread grinding machine. Finally, the chamfer is ground on a chamfer grinding machine. The processes thread grinding and chamfer grinding are carried out on modern machine tools in one clamping.

Flute grinding is of particular significance within the various grinding operations used in tool manufacturing. Apart from the rake face, the flute grinding process determines the quality of the cutting edges. However, the grinding wheels typically used for flute grinding are not designed to take the complex contact conditions of this process ...
Solid end mill cutting tools are widely used in machining of curved surface parts in many industrial sectors, e.g., aerospace, automotive, and energy. Grinding is one of the most important processes in the manufacturing of the tools, and the movement of the grinding wheel closely influences the key parameters of helical groove cross-section, i.e., rake angle γo, inner core radius Rc, outer ...
There are two methods companies use to flute these tools. Method 1 utilizes straight faced wheels as this greatly reduces the amount of grinding wheel inventory used for many sized tools. However, this method tends to create high machine load and wheel wear. Most of the work being done is at the leading edge of the wheel as depicted in figure 2 ...

Grinding of helical flutes is an important step in the process chain of cylindrical tool manufacturing. The grinding process defines the dynamic performance of the manufactured tool. Moreover, the surface quality and flute shape are primarily determined. For this reason, finding optimum process parameters is essential, especially in process planning of individual tools. In the industry, manual ...

For grinding the chip flute, the focus is on precise geometry and optimum hardness of the tool's cutting edge. With tried and tested flute grinding wheels from TYROLIT, these requirements are perfectly satisfied thanks to maximum stock removal rates and cool grinding. The result is significantly lower machining costs and enhanced workpiece quality.
Flute Grinding. Flute grinding is an operation that pushes the limit of what a superabrasive wheel is capable of. The wheel is in full contact with a rotating tool blank, cutting the characteristic flutes of an end mill or drill. Fluting demands an aggressively cutting wheel, able to handle the intense heat and forces generated by the deep ...
Located in Derby Line, Vt., Tivoly has 160 employees and 240 machine tools, ranging from lathes and milling machines to virtually every conceivable type of grinder. After 15 years, one of those machine tools, a flute grinding machine from International Tool Machines, succumbed to wear and tear. Tivoly contacted ITM to rebuild the machine last fall.
Metal-bonded grinding tools for flute grinding. With the STARTEC XP-P+ product line, TYROLIT defines a new performance level for the flute grinding of tungsten carbide cutting tools. Two different diamond qualities and the innovative bond structure lead either to significantly reduced grinding forces or to a major increase in profile retention.

In industry, flutes are often ground with standard wheels of simple shape (e.g., 1A1 or 1V1 wheels), resulting in flutes without much variation. To make flutes of more complex shape, standard wheels of complex shape (e.g., 1B1, 1E1, 1F1, and 4Y1 wheels), compared to the current ones, should be used.
Wheel position (including wheel location and orientation) in the flute grinding process of an end-mill determines the ground flute's geometric parameters, i.e., rake angle, core radius, and flute width. Current technologies for calculating the wheel position to guarantee the three parameters' accuracy are either time-consuming or only applicable to the grinding wheels with singular points. In ...
