Turning Tools
The turning tools have undergone an evolutionary process over time. The demand of production, ever-accelerating demand forced by tools more durable and efficient. Fron chisels used in the operations manual to the inserts of high strength ceramics.
Models of Turning Tools - 1680
The first steps of research started by looking for the best geometry for the cutting operation. The next step is devoted to the search for better materials strength characteristics and durability. Finally started to combine materials in new models constructive synchronizing the performance needs, reducing costs and downtime in the production process. As a result of this development was devoted to the use of composite tools, where the cutting element is a insert mounted on one base.
There are different types of inserts and fastening systems. The inserts can assume different shapes. They can also be classified by type, single sided, double sided, with or without chip breaking.
