Understanding Wear Offset Value: Definition and Practical Use in CNC Machining

Have you ever wondered why after milling a hole or pocket that it measures larger at the top of the cut than at the bottom?  Or why your gauge pin fits nice and snug in the beginning of the hole but won’t quite make it all the way through?  The simple answer is tool deflection. 

When we talk about different types of machining processes, we know that the unsung heroes of such processes are the machine tools used to craft the parts we use in everyday life. One of the key tools used for machining (and one of our favorites) is the lathe! CNC lathes are exceptionally versa

CNC lathe machine tool turret is part of the CNC machine where all tooling is mounted. CNC lathe tool turret has an integral Disk like part (Tool turret disk) on which all the tools are mounted. CNC lathe tool turret is mounted on the x-axis carriage,Slant Bed CNC Lathe / Flat Bed CNC LatheOn some C

This video describes how tools are chosen for different machining operations and Tool setup on CNC lathe machine with Siemens Sinumerik 808D cnc control.Normally there are many tools available in a workshop, so choosing the right tool for right operation is also a must learn job for a cnc machinist.
