Tool Orientation
Posted: Mon 12 Oct , 2009 16:58 pm
I have been looking at quick turn tool set up and our lathe tooling set up. Our technician reckons we have tool one and that it has a left hand kink rather than a right hand one as stated in the tooling menu ?
As the chuck rotates anti clockwise we have put the tooling tip in so that the workpiece is cut by the top of the tip. Therefore we have put tool 3 in so that we can face off the end of the bar
Can you confirm for me which way round tools 1 & 3 go please
