Would this be a formed parting tool, combining the shape of the part with the parting operation? </p> http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/topic/a-broach-like-tool-for-parting-off-pieces-in-the-lathe#post-662 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:27:48 +0000 Anonymous 662@http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/ <p>Bold thinking is good, not easily understood, but good. :)<br /> I think I'd need to see a sketch of this idea. </p> http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/topic/a-broach-like-tool-for-parting-off-pieces-in-the-lathe#post-661 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:18:20 +0000 Anonymous 661@http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/ <p>Although I have run CNC machines and have done a little programming of them, I am entrenched in manual mills and lathes and wouldn't have it any other way for the stuff I do. So my thoughts are geared to the unit operations of the machining world and manual machines.</p> <p>Has anyone ever proposed a broach - like tool for parting off pieces in the lathe?</p> <p>I'm thinking about rather large diameter pieces where there is quite a good range of being on center with the tool and in reality not being on center which is where a multi-tooth broaching cut-off tool would be working as it made chips.</p> <p>The chip load would then be divided across two teeth and perhaps the cutting would go easier and faster???</p> <p>This idea would need a bit more thought, but it may have merit.</p> <p>Has it been done? </p>
