13.4. Various cutting tools and their properties
For various work tasks there are special tools that are optimally co-ordinated to their
respective intended use due to their form. The right choice of tool is thus not only
essential for the perfect quality of the work result, but some machining can only be done
with certain tool forms from the outset.
We will briefly introduce the most important forms:
13.4.1. Roughing tools (1)
are used to wear off as much swarf as possible in a
short time (regardless of the finish of the work piece
surface).
13.4.2. Finishing or pointed tools (2)
are used to achieve a clean surface.
13.4.3. Right (3) or left cutters
are used for longitudinal and face turning as well as for boring acute angles in right or
left machining direction.
13.4.4. Parting tools (4)
are used to groove flutes and to separate the work pieces.
13.4.5. Threading tools (5)
are used to cut external threads.
13.4.6. Inside turning tools (6)
for boring, i.e. to manufacture cylindrical hollow spaces
