Esztergálással

Esztergálással, also known as turning, is a machining process used to create a part by rotating a workpiece on a lathe while a cutting tool removes material. This fundamental metalworking technique is employed to shape, bore, cut threads, and face various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood. The lathe machine is the central piece of equipment for esztergálással, featuring a spindle that holds and rotates the workpiece and a carriage that moves the cutting tool along precise paths.

The cutting tool, typically made of hardened steel or carbide, is mounted on the tool post and fed into the rotating workpiece. The depth of cut and feed rate are carefully controlled to achieve the desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Esztergálással can produce a wide range of shapes, from simple cylindrical components to complex, contoured surfaces. It is a highly versatile process, essential in manufacturing for producing parts for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering.
