How to choose the right tool in CNC machining ?

CNC machining is a very rigorous and orderly process. What are the principles for the selection of tools in CNC machining? How to choose the right tool?

1. The principle of selection of CNC tools

Tool life is closely related to the amount of cutting. Therefore, the choice of tool is important when setting the amount of cutting. Tool life generally has the highest and lowest points, the former is related to the single piece of work, while the latter is related to the process cost.

When considering the life of the tool, we should determine it according to the complexity of the tool, the manufacturing cost, and so on. If it is used to operate more complex multi-tool machinery, you should choose a high life and reliability.

CNC tool, which is a kind of tool, it requires higher than ordinary tool, not only needs good rigidity, strength and precision, but also requires dimensional stability and durability.

2. Selection of tools for CNC turning

CNC turning tools, which generally have three types of turning tools, pointed turning tools and circular turning tools. When making choices, we should take into account the characteristics of CNC machining, and consider the tool itself in order to choose the most suitable one.

3. Selection of tools for CNC milling

The main requirements for CNC milling tools are: sufficient rigidity and good use. Therefore, we have to take these into account in order to choose the most appropriate one.
