How to Use a Carbide Turning Tool by CNC

Carbide Turning Tool

One of the most important accessories you need when operating a CNC machine is an external turning tool. Here's a quick how-to on how to use your carbide insert tool for turning

Step

Place the tool in the chuck and tighten it down as much as it will go. This is a very important step, because if you don't tighten down enough you may end up with a spinning tool and not one that is firmly held in place. You want as much pressure on it as possible

Step

Now you can turn on your CNC machine and begin cutting. If you have any problems or questions about using this tool, just let me know!

What is CNC Turning

CNC turning is a process that involves using computer numerical control (CNC) machines to shape and finish various materials, such as metals and plastics, into desired shapes and sizes.
This process is typically used in the manufacturing industry to produce precision parts and components for a wide range of applications, including automotive, automation, aerospace, medical, machinery, and industrial.
