Metalcutting Application Course

Metalcutting Application Course – Duration: 4 days

Overview

The Metalcutting Application Course is designed to provide a broad base of knowledge for the selection and use of metalcutting tools. This course is divided into four sections with each being covered by lecture, lab and machine demonstrations.

1. Mechanics of Metalcutting will cover tooling from a design perspective. This section starts with a discussion on How Tools Cut and progress through the design elements related to turning, milling and drilling. All aspects of cutting geometry will be discussed along with its relationship to the cutting edge, workpiece material and power.

2. Materials Technology will start with a discussion of common cutting tool materials and how they relate to each other. A discussion of powder metal technology will start with How Carbide is made and progress through modern carbide and ceramic grade technology. Coating technology will include common application methods as well as the latest advances in coating materials.
