The Method of Tool Selection for CNC Lathe

Due to the high precision of CNC lathe machining, as well as the concentration of machining processes and fewer times of part clamping, higher requirements are placed on the CNC cutting tools used. Dongguan Tongli Metal Products Co., Ltd. will introduce it to you below.
When selecting cutting tools for CNC machining, the following aspects should be considered:
① The type, specifications, and accuracy level of CNC cutting tools should be able to meet the machining requirements of CNC lathes.
② High precision. To meet the requirements of high precision and automatic tool changing in CNC lathe machining, the tool must have high precision.
③ High reliability. To ensure that unexpected tool damage and potential defects do not occur during CNC machining, which may affect the smooth progress of the machining process, it is required that the tool and its associated accessories must have good reliability and strong adaptability. Precision hardware processing
④ High durability. The cutting tools used in CNC lathe processing, whether in rough or precision machining, should have higher durability than those used in ordinary machine tool processing, in order to minimize the number of tool replacement or grinding and tool alignment, thereby improving the machining efficiency of CNC machine tools and ensuring machining quality.
⑤ Good chip breaking and removal performance. In CNC lathe machining, chip breakage and chip removal cannot be handled manually in a timely manner like in ordinary machine tool machining. Chips are prone to entanglement with the tool and workpiece, which can damage the tool and scratch the machined surface of the workpiece, and even cause injuries and equipment accidents, affecting machining quality and safe operation of the machine tool. Therefore, it is required that the tool has good chip breakage and chip removal performance.
