Metal cutting using lathes is still a demanded and necessary operation in various fields of industrial activity. Moreover, even the most high-tech machines equipped with:
- Numerical control (CNC).
- Innovative systems for precise cutting or drill feed.
- Ideally centered shaft to rotate the workpiece chuck.
They need classic equipment, without which no operation is complete. Turning tool , this is how the devices for setting and cutting the workpiece of the future part are indicated in the technological charts.
Classification of turning tools
The turning method (removal of a metal layer with a cutter from a rotating workpiece) is several hundred years old and has a huge list of technologies that can improve the quality and speed of manufacturing the final part. Most of them are based on the correct selection of turning tools, which are divided into 2 main types:
- Cutting - cutters, taps and dies for tapping, drills and countersinks.
- Accessories - clamps (transfer rotation to the part installed in the centers), clamping for the cutter (increases the feed accuracy), steady (for fixing large-sized workpieces).
It should be noted that the technologist pays special attention to the choice of cutters for processing a workpiece made of a certain grade of steel or alloy (for example, especially hard or soft colored ones). A properly selected tool can not only increase productivity several times, but also preserve the structure of the metal by reducing the temperature that occurs during its cutting.
You can get more detailed information about the types and technical parameters of turning tools using the website of the company that supplies it from a well-known foreign manufacturer. The products presented in the online catalog of the resource correspond to the quality and reliability parameters declared by the manufacturer. For consultation, there is a feedback option provided by the Internet project manager.
