Tips for using turning tools

Types and uses of turning tools Turning tools are the most widely used single-edged tools. It is also the basis for learning and analyzing various types of tools. Turning tools are used on various lathes to process outer circles, inner holes, end faces, threads, grooves, etc. According to the structure, turning tools can be divided into integral turning tools, welding turning tools, machine-clamping turning tools, indexable turning tools and forming turning tools. Among them, the application of indexable turning tools is increasingly widespread, and the proportion of turning tools is gradually increasing. Tips for using the turning tool:

1. Carbide welding turning tool The so-called welding turning tool is to open a kerf on the carbon steel tool holder according to the requirements of the geometric angle of the tool, and weld the carbide blade in the kerf with solder, and press the selected tool. The turning tool used after sharpening the geometric parameters.

2. The machine-clamped turning tool is a turning tool that uses an ordinary blade and uses a mechanical clamping method to clamp the blade on the tool bar. This type of knife has the following characteristics:

(1) Due to the improved durability of the tool, the use time is longer, the tool change time is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved.

(2) The end of the pressure plate used for pressing the blade can act as a chip breaker.

Features of mechanical clamping turning tool:

(1) The blade is not welded at high temperature, which avoids the reduction of blade hardness and cracks caused by welding, and improves the durability of the tool.

(2) After the blade is reground, the size will gradually decrease. In order to restore the working position of the blade, a blade adjustment mechanism is often installed on the turning tool structure to increase the number of regrinds of the blade.

(3) The end of the pressure plate used for pressing the blade can act as a chip breaker.
