How to Choose the Tools for CNC Lathes?

CNC lathe processing is a high-precision work, and its processing procedures are concentrated and the number of parts clamping is small, so it puts forward higher requirements for the CNC tools used. Let’s introduce it to you.

When selecting cutting tools for CNC machine tool processing, the following aspects should be considered:

1. The type, specification and accuracy level of CNC tools should be able to meet the CNC lathe processing requirements.

2. High precision. In order to adapt to the requirements of high precision and automatic tool change of CNC lathe processing, the cutting tools must have high precision.

3. High reliability. To ensure that accidental tool damage and potential defects will not affect the smooth progress of processing during CNC machining, the tool and the accessories combined with it must have good reliability and strong adaptability.

4.High durability. Tools processed by CNC lathes, whether in rough machining or finishing, should have higher durability than the tools used in ordinary machine tool processing to minimize the number of tool replacements or grinding and tool setting, thereby improving the processing efficiency of CNC machine tools. efficiency and ensure processing quality.

5. Good chip breaking and chip removal performance. In CNC lathe processing, chip breaking and chip removal cannot be handled manually in a timely manner like ordinary machine tool processing. Chips can easily wrap around the tool and workpiece, damaging the tool and scratching the machined surface of the workpiece, and even causing injuries to people and equipment, affecting the processing quality and safe operation of the machine tool, so the tool is required to have better chip breaking and chip removal performance.
