When operating a lathe machine, it is more than necessary to use the proper type of tool inserts to cut and shape materials precisely. DESKAR carries a variety of lathe tool inserts that can bring you excellent performance in your projects. Today we are going to discuss lathe cutting inserts and how to use them for turning operations.
Lathe tool inserts are small pieces used on a lathe machine to finish, shape, or cut a workpiece. Those inserts are often cut from hard materials like carbide, or ceramic, that can cope with the heat and force of machining.
When selecting lathe tool inserts, consider what the workpiece is made of, how fast you will be cutting, and how deep you need to cut. DESKAR has various lathe tool inserts with different shape/ strength/ to fit different machining. For instance, if you are cutting soft material — say, aluminum — you may need a sharp insert to achieve a nice finish. For example, if you are cutting a hard material such as stainless steel, you need a harder insert for longer life.
High-performance lathe tool inserts can enable you to work faster and save money by allowing high feed rates and longer tool life. The high-performance inserts of DESKAR are designed to cut better and last longer. Using these inserts will allow you to finish projects quicker and produce higher quality parts.
There are various types of lathe tool inserts which are used for varying types of machining. Some familiar shapes include square, round, triangular, and diamond. This holder makes its square inserts useful for a whole lot of lathe work, from facing to turning. Round inserts work well for smoothing edges. Triangle inserts are best for turning and forming angles; diamond inserts are best for cutting and grooving.
Proper Cutting Settings For Lathe Tool Inserts Running at the right speed and at the right cutting depths will make lathe tool inserts to last longer. This is a good thing, as it counters wear and failure. The proper tools for grinding will ensure sharp inserts. Examine your inserts frequently for wear and replace when necessary to maintain good cutting performance.
