Italian term or phrase: fresa a candela
Salve, ho bisogno di sapere come si dice "fresa a candela" in inglese. Se vi può essere d'aiuto, ho la seguente frase:" Taglio di una chiavetta su albero: questa lavorazione avviene con una fresa a candela di diametro 6 montata su mandrinetto motorizzato radiale, la quale deve essere azzerata sulla punta e sull'asse fresa".
Grazie a tutti.

2-flute mill o slot mill
Explanation:
per fare la cava di una chiavetta (meglio dire linguetta) ci vuole una fresa a candela - Il Marolli la chiama two-fluted mill

2-Flute mills are generally used for cutting slots or grooves, while 4-flute mills are more often used for surface milling, using the end of the mill. In practice, I have found that 4-flute mills will do most of what of a 2-flute mill can do, but not vice-versa. But each type is best for certain operations.
A 2 flute cutter (or slot mill) is designed for "plunge" milling, ie you can plunge the mill directly into the work. If you look at the business end of the cutter, you will see that the two blades are of unequal length, one of the blades goes right across the middle. This allows the cutter to mill directly under it. It can be used to cut vertically or horizontally, but the horizontal cut is not likely to be as good as the 4 flute cutter. The 4 flute cutter (or end mill)is not designed to be "plunged". Again, look at the cutters and you will find that they are all the same length, but there is a hole in the middle where nothing can be milled. This type of cutter can only be used to mill in a horizontal direction. Graham
