sorvaustyökaluja

Sorvaustyökaluja, or turning tools, are essential implements used in lathe operations to shape and refine workpieces. These tools are designed to be held against a rotating workpiece, allowing for the removal of material to achieve desired shapes, dimensions, and surface finishes. The cutting edge of a sorvaustyökalu is typically made of hardened steel, often with carbide or high-speed steel inserts for increased durability and cutting performance.

There are various types of sorvaustyökaluja, each suited for specific tasks. Common examples include roughing tools, used for rapid material removal; finishing tools, employed for achieving smooth surfaces; parting tools, designed to cut a workpiece off from the stock; and threading tools, used to create screw threads. The geometry of the cutting edge, including its angle and rake, is crucial for efficient and clean cutting. Toolholders are used to securely mount these tools in the lathe's tool post, enabling precise positioning and depth of cut control. Proper selection and maintenance of sorvaustyökaluja are vital for successful turning operations, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
