ulkosorvaustyökaluja

Ulkosorvaustyökaluja are cutting tools used in external turning operations on a lathe. These tools are designed to remove material from the outer surface of a rotating workpiece. They typically consist of a tool holder and a cutting insert, though some older or simpler tools may have a solid cutting edge. The cutting insert is usually made of a hard material such as carbide, high-speed steel, or ceramic, and it is held in place by a clamping mechanism in the tool holder.

The geometry of an ulkosorvaustyökaluja is critical for effective cutting. Key angles include the rake angle, clearance angle, and cutting edge angle, which influence chip formation, cutting force, and surface finish. Different types of ulkosorvaustyökaluja exist for various turning operations, including roughing, finishing, profiling, and threading. Roughing tools are designed to remove large amounts of material quickly, while finishing tools produce a smooth surface. Profiling tools are used to create specific shapes and contours on the workpiece.

The selection of the appropriate ulkosorvaustyökaluja depends on factors such as the workpiece material, desired surface finish, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Proper tool selection and maintenance are essential for achieving efficient material removal, maintaining dimensional accuracy, and prolonging tool life.
