Lathe Tool Geometry provides a description of single-point lathe tool angles, detailing the effect these angles have on a cutting operation. Tool angles have a significant impact on a cutting ...

The cutting tool geometry must be known to a similar degree of accuracy to create components that have contour accuracies of a few micro-inches. This article demonstrates a single technique through ...

In this hands-on DIY project, watch as we transform discarded scrap metal into a rugged,reliable camping knife built for real ...

The two basic cutting tool types used in metalworking are the single-point and multi-point designs. Fundamentally, they are similar. By grouping a number of single point tools in a circular holder, ...

Hard plastics are cut with a V-flute router that produces small, shard-like or crystalline chips. The tradeoff of a high rake angle in a cutting tool is that it becomes very aggressive. If anyone has ...

Ralph found the right solution with a special tool geometry and a few trial tools turned into a major order. In 1998, the sports car — which owed its instrument panel to this tool development — ...

Simple changes in cutting tool geometry can immediately negate chip and dust velocity, while directing both toward the dust hood intake nozzle. Simple changes in cutting tool geometry can ...

Attempting to minimize vibration by reducing cutting parameters decreases productivity and increases manufacturing costs. Instead, the best way to control this unwanted vibration is with ...

Highly accurate contoured surfaces can be produced using diamond cutting tools, which are themselves extremely precise devices. The tool tip geometry can now be generated with an accuracy of a few ...
