Single Point Cutting Tool Of Lathe Machine

3D Model

A single point cutting tool is a type of tool used in a lathe machine for cutting and shaping materials such as metal or wood. It consists of a single cutting edge that is shaped and sharpened to form a precise cutting profile.

The cutting edge is typically made of high-speed steel or tungsten carbide, which are materials that are hard enough to withstand the heat and pressure of the cutting process. The tool is held in place by a tool post, which can be adjusted to achieve the desired cutting angle and depth.

The cutting edge is designed to create a chip by removing material from the workpiece as it rotates against the tool. The angle of the cutting edge and the depth of the cut can be adjusted to produce different types of cuts, such as roughing cuts or finishing cuts.

Single point cutting tools come in various shapes and sizes, including square, round, diamond, and triangular shapes. The choice of tool shape depends on the specific cutting operation and the type of material being cut.
