Turning generates cylindrical and rounded forms with a single-point tool. The tool is stationary with the workpiece rotating.
Turning is the most common process for metal cutting and is a highly optimized process, requiring thorough consideration of the various factors in the turning application.
Turning can be broken down in a number of basic applications (longitudinal turning, facing or profiling) for selection of tool types, cutting data and programming.

Turning tool holders
To hold a turning insert, a turning tool holder must be used. Turning tools usually have a square shank (20x20mm shank or 25x25mm being the most popular in the UK) and are made from steel. Depending on the insert shape, geometry and size, the type of turning tool used will differ in terms of clamp style, approach and shank size. ...
