Lõikelaius

Lõikelaius refers to the width of the cutting tool's path during material processing. It is a crucial parameter in various manufacturing and crafting operations, impacting efficiency, surface finish, and material removal rate. In milling, for instance, lõikelaius determines how much of the material is removed by each pass of the rotating cutter. A wider lõikelaius can reduce the number of passes required, thus shortening production time. However, it can also lead to increased tool wear and a rougher surface finish if not managed properly. Conversely, a narrower lõikelaius typically results in a smoother finish and less stress on the cutting tool but requires more passes to achieve the desired depth. The optimal lõikelaius depends on factors such as the material being cut, the type of cutting tool, the machine's capabilities, and the desired outcome. For woodworking, lõikelaius is a consideration when using tools like planers or jointer blades, affecting the amount of wood shaved off with each stroke. In fabric cutting for sewing, lõikelaius refers to the seam allowance, the distance between the raw edge of the fabric and the stitching line. This ensures that the seam is strong enough and that the fabric edges do not fray. Understanding and controlling lõikelaius is therefore essential for achieving precise and efficient results in a wide range of applications.
