It may seem like buying a cheaper standalone machine tool saves money, and sometimes that’s true. But when it comes to mid- to high-volume turned parts, the economics can quickly turn in another ...

The most important factor to consider is the material being machined. The material should have tool wear and sufficient ductility in order to enable clean cutting with reduced surface damage.

Compatibility of the material for the diamond turning process is crucial to achieve clean cutting with reduced surface damage. Grain structure and the presence of impurities in the material affect ...

The primary reason a shop invests in a Swiss-type turning machine is to produce parts at high volumes. However, whether a Swiss-type machine is producing at high enough volumes to be profitable ...

Chip morphology is one of the evaluation indexes of cutting performance of cutting tools, and chip forming process has a direct and important influence on chip morphology. High-strength steel 40CrMnMo ...
