China CNC Turning: A guide to the tools and tricks of turning in Chin
The Chinese turned a corner in the 1980s when they started making large quantities of high-quality aluminum extrusions for use in aircraft and other industrial applications. The China Aluminum Extrusion Industry Corporation (CAEC) began developing a domestic market for aluminum extrusions by exporting them to Japan
The Chinese are now producing their own version of what is called an extruded metal form, or EMF, which allows the shaping of parts without the need for expensive molds or dies. For example, they can make tooling from scratch that will last forever without requiring any maintenance at all
The Chinese have a lot to teach us about turning, and we should take advantage of it. Here's what you need to know about turning in China today:
