In addition to the above subdivision between replaceable ring and mono block types, roller cutters can also be subdivided in other many sub-categories, based on the following additional parameters: · Diameter (multiple diameters in the case of tapered roller cutter). · The amount of so-called “cutting tips”, i.e. the quantity of cutting edges (Singles, Twins, Doubles, Quad and so on). · Geometry (the cutting tips spacing, for multiple tip cutters).
· The cutting profile, both in terms of tip shape, angles and size, and in terms of material or finishing (ST, HD, Tungsten carbide tips, hardfaced tips and so on). · The specific roller cutter position on the cutter head face area
(Center cutters, Face, Gauge and copy cutters). · The roller cutter fastening system onto its housing and the
cutter installation method (from inside or outside the cutter head, a.k.a. Back or Front load mount).
