Lathe chisel: varieties

The cutter is such a single-blade tool.The purpose of which is the processing on lathes of various parts. When used, it can perform either rotational or translational movements. This is one of the most famous tools used when working on turning, carousel, slotting, boring and many other machines, as well as on automatic lathes and semi-automatic. The lathe tool, depending on the type of machine, type of work, is divided into different types in shape, size, design. The tool is used for the manufacture of parts with a different surface (end, cylindrical, shaped, conical) by the translational movement of the blade, or the rotation of the material.

The tool is used to work on variouslathes, which, in turn, are divided into two types: for processing wood and metal. In the first case, it is presented in the form of a chisel, which differs in shape and width. Lathe metal cutters consist of two parts: heads (working part) and holders (body, which is fixed in a fixed holder of the machine). The working part consists of the tip of the blade, the front, main and auxiliary rear surfaces, the main and auxiliary cutting edge.

By type of machining, the turning tools are divided into the following types:

- through passage (for external turning of details);

- slotted or grooved (to obtain the grooves of the required width on the inner and outer surfaces);

- cutting (for turning ledges);

- boring (for processing holes);

- cutting (for trimming the workpiece);

- chamfering (for internal and external chamfers);

- shaped (for processing parts of complex shape).

Стоит отметить, что это далеко не все types of lathe tools, here are considered only the most common. There is a wide variety of data tools that differ in their purpose.

According to the shape of the blade section, the turning tool is subdivided into square, rectangular and round, and according to the design of the heads - straight, curved, bent and with a drawn head.

In the direction of supply, the tools are divided into right (right-to-left) and left (reverse). By the nature of processing, there are distinguished draft, finishing and semi-finishing types of the blade.

By way of fixing the cutting part turning tooldivided into solid, made from one piece of metal, and composite, the holder and the head of which is made of different materials. The second type, in turn, is divided into welded, with a mechanical or soldered plate. For the manufacture of the blade used special materials, characterized by high strength, reliability and durability. They provide high-quality processing of parts.

Lathe tool is used in many machines,as mentioned above, automatic and semi-automatic in the production of various parts. Also with the help of this tool you can make various exclusive things, get a unique product that will decorate any interior.
