Cutting tools for lathes are essential in the world of machining, allowing a variety of operations to be performed with high precision and efficiency.
At Vurcon, we understand the importance of having the right tools for every application, which translates into quality results and more efficient processes.
Types of cutting tools for lathes
There are different types of cutting tools designed for various operations on a lathe. Among the most common are:
- Roughing tools: These tools are designed to quickly remove large amounts of material, making them ideal for initial work on raw pieces. They are robust and withstand high levels of mechanical stress.
- Finishing tools: Used to give the final touch to pieces, these tools provide a smooth and precise finish. They are essential for achieving clean and detailed surfaces with tight tolerances.
- Thread cutters: These tools are used to create both internal and external threads on pieces. They are fundamental in the production of components that require assembly with screws or bolts.
- Boring bars: Ideal for internal operations, these bars allow for enlarging or adjusting the diameter of existing holes, ensuring precision and uniformity in diameters.
- Parting tools: These are used to cut or separate parts of a workpiece. They are crucial in producing components that require separate sections with clean and precise cuts.
Materials of cutting tools
Cutting tools are made from various materials, each with its own advantages. Among the most commonly used are high-speed steel (HSS), tungsten carbide, and ceramics.
High-speed steel is durable and economical, while tungsten carbide is more durable and suitable for high-speed cutting.
Ceramics, on the other hand, are ideal for working on hard or heat-resistant materials.
At Vurcon, we offer a wide range of cutting tools for lathes, ensuring our customers have the best solutions for their machining needs.
We are committed to quality and precision, backed by technological innovation in each of our products.
