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 ...

Master aerospace machining of high-temp alloys like Inconel and titanium with expert strategies for solid end milling, tool life optimization, chip evacuation, and thermal control.

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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

In this video, Scientific Cutting Tools breaks down the key styles of our high-performance port tools—including reamer style, ...

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 — ...

HEM employs the full length of the tool, spreading heat and wear along the entire cutting edge. As a result, “it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to see double, triple, even four times the tool life by ...

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 ...

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 ...
