Molding Blanks

A molding blank is a tool that is based on the premise that any primary processed shape has secondary processing. The blank edge is sharpened according to the purpose, and then secondary processing is performed. In the case of special shape machining, machining may not be possible with standard end mill shapes. In addition, although it is not impossible to perform machining with numerical control, man-hours may be required to build a complicated program for single-item machining. At that time, if it can be handled by grinding and processing the cutting edge, it will be very convenient. Molding blanks are processed into tools for cutting metal, so the materials are required to have abrasion-resistance, heat resistance, chipping resistance, etc. In addition, since it is necessary to process it, high-speed tool steel (high-speed tool steel) is used.
