On lathe tool

You use the cutting tool called a cutter to remove unwanted metal. A metal-cutting lathe can be manually operated, or have a CNC computer numerical control automated system.

Metal-Turning Lathes: Metal-turning lathes are designed to create intricate, detailed parts. They have a much larger spindle the part that holds the cutter than metal-cutting lathes. This allows the turning tool to make very tight, small cuts. It has two primary uses: To create custom metal shapes, like the unique parts needed to assemble your car or other machinery. Metal lathes are also used to create metal objects with very thin cross sections.

For example, metal lathes are often used to create the threads on screws and bolts. These types of parts are often needed by automobile and other machinery manufacturers. Hybrid Lathes: These are the most versatile of all the types of lathes.

They have the power of a CNC metal-cutting lathe, plus the flexibility of a manual turning lathe. This allows you to use the best features of both machines. What uses do they have outside of industrial settings? As you can see, metal lathes are incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of different purposes. Here are some examples of non-industrial uses for metal lathes: Create art: Many artists use metal lathes to create the intricate parts needed to assemble their sculptures.

Build models: Model builders use metal lathes to create the intricate parts needed to assemble their models. Deliver coolant through the holder to keep workpieces cool while boring tough materials, such as steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys.

Pair one of these inserts with a compatible boring carbide insert holder with coolant hole. Replace Torx keys and screws for boring carbide insert holders with coolant hole. They come with an insert installed. These sets have a variety of indexable boring insert holders with carbide inserts and a wood storage stand. When one edge of a tool's insert dulls, rotate it to use a sharp edge to enlarge existing holes to precise diameters.

Combine a carbide insert with a compatible internal profiling holder to create a tool that can contour the interior wall of a hollow workpiece. Contour the interior wall of a hollow workpiece when you pair a holder with a compatible insert.

Consistently position workpieces in a three-jaw lathe chuck by installing a chuck stop. These stops enable short workpieces to extend beyond the chuck's jaws, providing additional clearance.

Also known as lathe chuck keys, the long T-handle on these wrenches provides the leverage to open tight lathe chucks. When hand pressure is released, these wrenches automatically pop out of lathe chucks to keep users and machines safe from harm. Use them to prevent accidents that can occur when someone forgets to remove their wrench before turning on a lathe.

When a job calls for a 5C collet, save time by using an adapter instead of removing your lathe chuck. Also known as scroll chucks, these are self centering— all three jaws move in unison, centering the workpiece as they close. Made from hardened steel, these jaws have a long service life even when performing heavy machining such as roughing cuts.

Machine these jaws to fit the curves and edges of your unique workpiece for a tighter hold and more stability than standard hardened jaws. No need to break down a collet set up when a workpiece doesn't fit a 5C collet. Install one of these lathe chuck adapters in your 5C collet chuck or holder and its three jaws will securely grasp the workpiece.

Secure jaws to a CNC lathe chuck with industry standard 1. Hold machinable lathe chuck jaws in place during machining to make accurate cuts, ensuring the jaws will securely grip your workpiece. These tools are specially designed to perform heavy duty knurling applications using a CNC lathe. Also known as axial-feed knurls, these have a convex face, which produces a cleaner pattern and lasts longer than standard knurls.

Pair these knurls with a knurling tool to create patterns on a workpiece for an improved grip. The mandrels in these sets have an expanding screw that widens the end of the mandrel for a tight hold on the inside of a workpiece. An expanding screw widens the end of the mandrel for a tight hold on the inside of a workpiece. The sleeve on these mandrels expands to hold a range of diameters for better versatility than solid and expanding-end mandrels.

Use an arbor press to secure the narrow end of one of these tapered mandrels into the hole of a workpiece. These light duty centers are for intermittent use on manual lathes.

A hardened body and point provide the extra strength and wear resistance necessary for continuous use on manual or CNC lathes.

Also known as bull-nose centers, these have a wide head to hold pipe and large-diameter tubing. Dead centers are one solid piece. Use them in the headstock when machining between centers or in the tailstock to support the end of a workpiece when friction is not a concern. Also known as lathe dogs, these drivers connect to a lathe to turn your workpiece when machining between centers. A set screw grips the workpiece while the bent tail connects to the lathe to transmit motion. Block chips while maintaining an unobstructed view of the workpiece.

These guards mount and travel on the cross slides and are fully adjustable in all directions. Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. A V -groove enables these holders to grip round-shank as well as square-shank tools. Four flat head screws lock down round-shank tools in a precision-ground bore for increased rigidity over other round-shank tool holders.

Two slide -in dovetail mounts on the tool posts allow you to quickly change from one tool holder to another. Securely hold cutoff blades in a quick-change tool post. A built -in drill chuck allows quick installation of drill bits, taps, and other round- or hex-shank tools into a quick-change tool post.

These holders work with any 5C collet to rigidly grip drill bits, taps, end mills, and other tools. Mount any tool with a Morse taper shank to a quick-change tool post. Instead of widening a hole using a lathe, which turns the workpiece while the cutting tool stays still, use these holders to turn your boring bar in a milling machine and keep the workpiece stationary.

Keep hands safely out of the way while deburring, sanding, and polishing workpieces on a lathe. Mount a digital readout system onto your manual lathe. It measures and displays precise tool and workpiece positioning on two axes.
