Features of facade cutter sets
Working with solid wood in the manufacture of furniture requires specific operations to create different profile and counter-profile options. The most advanced material processing option is milling cutters for furniture facades, capable of rounding the workpiece along the perimeter, machining the inner surface of a closed contour, and other tasks of decorative design of products.
Accurate and clean machining results using a facade cutter are guaranteed by the technology of manufacturing parts based on the use of hard steel of a special composition with a fine-grained metal structure. The maximum sharpness of the blade is obtained due to a specific sharpening procedure, which is carried out with an axial inclination of the cutting edge.
In the manufacture of the facade parts of furniture and drawers, beech, oak and ash wood, which has a high degree of hardness, or softer material of coniferous and deciduous varieties, is used. Regardless of the characteristics of wood, cutters for the manufacture of facades must have properties that allow long-term use of consumables without loss of technical qualities:
- wear resistance of the cutting edge makes it possible to avoid frequent tool changes;
- a large resource for resharpening the working plane ensures long-term use of parts.
Carbide cutters for facades, presented in our catalog, are able to create complex combinations of patterns from straight and curved lines, work in different planes and change the appearance of products, increasing the price of products at a low cost of production. Depending on the design, the tool is divided into one-piece, provided with replaceable blades, or having soldering from a hard metal alloy.
Wood cutters for furniture facades offered by our company have a complex profile and are available in a standard version or with a specific cutting plane pattern. Parts are used on universal milling machines with any type of control in the manufacture of:
- vertical and horizontal bars;
- grooves for installing panels and glazing;
- wall panels, bindings;
- decorative finishing elements.
To get more opportunities when finishing wooden furniture, it is advisable to buy facade cutters with a set of replaceable blades. By combining knives during processing, you can greatly expand the number of design variations, providing products with a high level of decorativeness. In addition to a different number of cutting tools, the package may include a glass and additional parts in the form of an overrunning ring for precise work on a template.
The main type of MDF board processing in the manufacture of furniture facades is milling. And when using milling machines with numerical control (CNC), the production of facade parts from MDF is actually completely carried out by milling cutters. Thus, the selection of the optimal set of cutters for the manufacture of furniture facades becomes a significant task, especially if there is no desire to overpay for a tool that, as unnecessary, will gather dust on the rack.
So. First of all, you should decide on the available equipment. Most of the machines for processing MDF boards have a collet chuck for end (tail) cutters with a cylindrical shank. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the size of the collet in the chuck and the possibility of replacing it with a different diameter. If the company has several milling machines or machines, it will be more convenient if the diameter of the shanks of the milling cutters used is the same. It is easier to overpay once for an additional collet or adapter sleeve than to subsequently purchase two sets of cutters for different equipment.
Milling machines with shell cutters, as a rule, have limited capabilities when processing blanks for facade parts and MDF countertops. Most often, this is milling an edge chamfer or finishing the contours of parts according to pre-made templates. Milling cutters for such machines are much more expensive and are intended mainly for processing solid wood. 
Depending on the availability and complexity of the equipment, the sets of cutters may differ. MDF board parts can be processed by manual milling machines, on milling and milling-copying tables, or on milling machines and CNC machining centers.
When working with a manual milling tool for processing straight and curved edges, including overlay templates, copiers, edge cutters with a bearing will be used. Shape cutters for outlining decor on the front side of the facade, above the cutting part, can also have a thrust bearing. Otherwise, you will have to copy the template using a semicircular milling machine bed.
Processing small MDF parts with a manual machine is quite problematic and time-consuming. On the other hand, large and heavy parts, such as countertops, including curved ones, are easier to mill with a small machine than to turn them on a milling table. 
The milling and copying table has its own thrust bearing, so you can get by with conventional groove cutters with various cutting edge contours. In some cases, for example, if it is necessary to change the diameter of the thrust bearing, it is possible to use edge cutters with a more suitable diameter.
Milling machines and CNC machining centers for working with MDF and chipboard also have collet chucks for a cylindrical end mill shank. Despite the fact that with only one cutter and program 3 D -processing machine with CNC is able to produce any relief of the facade, in order to rationally use time and resources, nevertheless, a diverse set of cutters is needed to perform basic operations. For the manufacture of MDF facades, you will need cutters for profiling parts, including the technology nesting , decorative sampling on the front surface of the MDF facade, edge processing, engraving, drilling. 
Profiling of MDF facades is carried out using straight groove cutters, or special multi-profile cutters, which allow simultaneous trimming of the part and chamfering. Here you may be faced with a choice: to purchase milling cutters with carbide tips, or with cutting edges made of polymer diamond. The choice is quite difficult, since, on the one hand, the short service life of the carbide cutter and low processing speed, and on the other hand, the price is too high, including for sharpening polymer diamond. Some enterprises, in order to rationally use expensive tools, initially process the MDF sheet with rough cutters, and then refine the remaining allowance with a finishing cutter.
When choosing cutters for profiling, you should also pay attention to the angle of inclination of the knife and the direction of chip ejection. 
The processing of the front surface of the MDF facade can be carried out both with one shaped cutter, and with a whole set of groove and engraving cutters, including straight ones, U-shaped, V -shaped, with a more complex geometry of the cutting edge. The number and range of cutter sets for processing MDF facades depend only on the scale of the designers' imagination and the skill of the milling equipment operators.
For mass production of the same type of MDF facades, you can purchase shaped cutters with a cutting edge made of polymer diamond. If the company specializes in individual orders, then it is best to use MDF cutters with brazed or replaceable carbide blades. Their range on the market of milling cutters for the manufacture of furniture facades is diverse enough to satisfy the needs of any client.
When changing a tool, as a rule, a lot of precious time is lost, since it is necessary to reconfigure machines, change processing modes, calibrate, etc. To reduce labor costs, some cutting tool manufacturers offer universal multi-profile shaped cutters for the manufacture of MDF facades. Of course, the use of such milling cutters leads to product uniformity, but it significantly increases labor productivity and production volumes.
If the company has a CNC machine or machining center, then after working with profile cutters, the surface of the table must be leveled. Some CNC tool manufacturers' catalogs offer special cutters for leveling the table.
In conclusion, it should be noted that some operations, such as milling and engraving "pigtails" on the MDF facade, are extremely irrational. Before spending money on buying a cutter and then killing a lot of time doing engraving, maybe you should think about replacing this operation with a “pigtail” made in a simpler way, for example, from a polymer material ?!
Any facade made of soft or hard wood can come to life if high-quality modern equipment is used to process it. Our company offers milling cutters for facades, which are used by everyone: from amateurs to professionals in their field.
Our company has a wide range of milling cutters, with which you can get different options for facade profiles and counter-profiles.
