Full title and description

ISO 3855:1977 — Milling cutters — Nomenclature. This International Standard provides an authoritative, multilingual nomenclature and classification for milling cutters to promote clear technical communication between manufacturers, users and standards bodies.

Abstract

The standard defines terms related to milling, describes the main characteristics of milling cutters (body, drive, design), and presents a classification of cutters (shank-type, bore/arbor-type and other forms). Terms are given in the ISO official languages (English and French) with equivalent terms in other languages included in an annex for reference. The document has been subject to a corrigendum (ISO 3855/COR 1:1996).

Scope

ISO 3855:1977 establishes standard terms and a classification scheme for milling cutters used in metalworking. It covers basic milling terminology, the distinguishing characteristics of cutters (such as body form, drive and design features), and separate classifications for shank (solid and mounted) and bore (arbor) style cutters to ensure consistent naming and specification in technical documents, catalogs and procurement.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of milling and related processes to set context for the nomenclature.
• Specification of cutter characteristics: body, drive, design and functional features.
• Classification framework distinguishing shank (solid and mounted) and bore/arbor cutters.
• Multilingual term list: official English and French terms with equivalent terms in other languages (annex).
• Reference to corrigendum ISO 3855/COR 1:1996 for editorial or minor technical corrections.

Typical use and users

Used by tooling manufacturers, machine-tool designers, workshop engineers, technical authors, procurement specialists and standards committees to ensure consistent naming, specification and interchangeability of milling cutters across drawings, catalogs and international trade documentation.

Related standards

ISO 3855 is related to other tooling and machining vocabulary and testing standards; national identical/adopted versions exist (for example NEN, NF and GOST adoptions) and the standard is referenced alongside machine testing standards such as ISO 1701‑1. A GOST-adopted identical version is recorded as GOST R ISO 3855:2013.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions related to milling, characteristics of milling cutters (body, drive, design), and a classification of cutters (shank and bore/arbor types), plus multilingual term listings.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool manufacturers, machine-tool designers, workshop engineers, technical writers, procurement and standards committees use it to ensure consistent terminology and specification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original 1977 edition was reviewed and confirmed as current by ISO (last confirmation in 2018); it has an associated corrigendum (ISO 3855/COR 1:1996) for corrections. Users should check national adoption records for translated or adopted versions (for example GOST R adoption).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is produced under the work of ISO/TC 29 (machine tools) subcommittee SC 9 and sits alongside other machining/tooling vocabularies and test standards rather than being one volume of a numbered series.
