Turning Tools
What Are Turning Tools?
Turning tools are cutting tools used in turning operations on lathes, CNC machines, and manual machines. The process involves removing material from a workpiece to shape it into a desired form. Turning tools typically include inserts, which are the replaceable cutting edges, and tool holders, which securely clamp the insert in place. These tools are essential for machining operations, including external turning, internal turning, threading, and boring.
There are various types of turning tools designed for different materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Depending on the job, turning tools may be designed for roughing (removing large amounts of material) or finishing (achieving a smooth surface finish).
