Machining tools
There are different types of machining shop Toronto tools and that they may be used solely or in conjunction with other types of tools at different steps of the manufacturing process in order to achieve the intended geometry of the object. The major categories of the typical machining tools used are as follows:
- Cutting tools. Devices like the shears and saws are typical examples of the cutting implements. They are usually used when cutting materials with predetermined dimensions like sheet metal into a shape that is desired.
- Boring tools. These are typically used as equipments for finishing processes in order to enlarge holes that were previously cut into the work piece.
- Drilling tools. This certain category consists of two edged devices which are rotating that create round holes and are parallel to the axis of rotation.
- Grinding tools. These types of tools apply rotating wheel in order to achieve a fine finish or in order to make light cuts on the material.
- Milling tools. The milling tool makes use of a rotating cutting surface that has several blades on it in order to create non-circular holes and in order to cut unique designs out of the work piece.
- Turning tools. These tools rotate the work piece on its axis while the cutting tool shapes it to its desired form. The lathes are the most common type of turning tools or equipments.
Burning as well as welding machine tools uses heat in order to shape a work piece. The most common forms of burning and machine technologies include the following:
- Laser cutting. The laser machine emits a high-energy and narrow beam of light which efficiently vaporizes, melts and burns the processed material. CO2 and the Nd:YAG lasers are some of the most common types of lasers used in the machining process. The laser cutting process is also very much suited when shaping steel and in etching patterns into material pieces.
