DS10524_Lathe_Tooling_0921B TORMACH.COM Tormach® CNC Lathe Tooling REFERENCE GUIDE To make the most of a machine purchase, it’s important to understand how cutting tools work and which inserts they pair with. Here is some background on lathe cutting tool and insert terminology: ISO/ANSI Inserts Like metric and imperial measurements standards, the U.S. has its own tool TABLE OF insert classification system; they are called American National Standards Institute (ANSI) designations. All of these ANSI classifications can be converted CONTENTS to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) classifications, but this guide includes both for easier selection. Cutting Tool Designations 3 Turning Tools Cutting tools are easily identified by their designation, which is universal between ISO and ANSI, and, in the machine shop, tool slang often refers to 6 Boring Bars the insert shape, which is also available in the tool designation. Examples and explanations of designations are available at the start of each section. 7 Turning/ Boring Right-Hand vs. Left-Hand vs. Neutral Inserts Right-hand tools are the most commonly used, because they can be used for most turning applications, including making shoulders on the front of the workpiece. Left-handed tools are typically chosen for back turning and making 11 Grooving/ Parting sharp shoulders on the back of the workpiece. Neutral tools are ideal for Tools complex profiling, thanks to their narrow tips. Insert Shapes 12 Grooving/ Parting There are a variety of insert shapes available, but the general note is use Tool Inserts wider inserts for simple geometry and roughing passes, since they have more durability than a more narrow cutting tool, which is needed for complicated or 12 Threading Tools intricate parts.

Metals Manufacturing Processes 2
Metals Manufacturing Processes 2 Course Description: The curriculum for this course is developed from the Wisconsin Standards for Technology and Engineering. This elective course is a 2 Trimester Course in which students will develop intermediate level skills and technical knowledge in the areas of machining, metal casting, sheet metal, CNC machining, GMAW welding and fabrication. While learning skills and technical knowledge in these areas, students will fabricate multiple small projects. Students will be asked to work in small groups and individually to complete learning exercises. The class will also participate in a mass production simulation producing a finished product. The information in this course overview outlines what students should understand and be able to do by the end of the trimester. Mastery Standards: Knowledge of equipment and safety procedures are essential to responsible use of equipment and tools in the metals manufacturing industry . (AC1.c, AC1.d, AC1.e, AC1.f, MNF1.a) Understanding and knowledge of tools and materials is required for analyzing sound choices in methods and materials in the metals manufacturing industry. (BB1.b) Quality design, engineering, and construction require accurate knowledge and application of measuring systems. (AC1.a, AC1.b) Experience applying design theory allows for stronger analysis of plans and designs before investment of resources in final production. (ENG1.a, ENG2.a, ENG2.b, ENG3.a, ENG3.b-ENG4.a) Executing and receiving evaluations and feedback on projects is vital to learning and improving skills. (ENG4.c, ENG5.a) Specific tasks require experience and knowledge to correctly identify, select, and safely use appropriate tools, machines, products, systems, and techniques.
