Abstract
Device and method for milling of materials including a milling cutter body including a first end portion and an opposite second end portion. The first end portion is connected to a rotatable spindle and the second end portion is provided with at least one cutting edge. The milling cutter body defines a longitudinal axis and is provided with an axial recess, wherein at least one mass element is arranged in the recess. The axial position of the mass element in relation to the milling cutter body is tuned by use of tuning members included in the device for the tuning of the natural frequency of the device. The mass element is axially locked in relation to the milling cutter body by use of lock members included in the device, in order to optimize the natural frequency of the device for the milling operation in question.
