Since 1960, Micro 100 has provided the machining industry with highly durable, precision manufactured turning tools. In this section of “In the Loupe,” find all posts related to turning tools and CNC lathe machining, including, among many others, “How Boring Bar Geometries Impact Cutting Operations.”
Most modern manufacturing centers have both milling machines and lathe machines. Each machine follows the same machining principle, known as subtractive machining, where you begin with a block of material and then shape that material into the desired specifications. How the part is actually shaped is the key difference between the two machines. Understanding the […]
A multi-start thread consists of two or more intertwined threads running parallel to one another. Intertwining threads allow the lead distance of a thread to be increased without changing its pitch. A double start thread will have a lead distance double that of a single start thread of the same pitch, a triple start thread […]
