Turning is a precision machining process that utilizes a non-rotating, fixed cutting tool to remove material from a rotating workpiece. Turning tools typically consist of a robust tool holder and a replaceable insert, designed for high performance and efficiency. These inserts vary in shape, geometry, and material composition, tailored to meet specific machining requirements. Carbide is the most commonly used insert material due to its excellent balance of toughness and hardness. However, for more demanding applications, materials such as diamond and cermet are also employed. To enhance durability and cutting performance, inserts are coated with advanced protective layers that improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and extend tool life. These features make turning tools indispensable for achieving high-quality surface finishes and precise dimensional control in metal cutting operations.
