Select the appropriate cutting tooling for the production of

Select the appropriate cutting tooling for the production of following feature on materials. Guide pin holes in die steel molds. Key way on high carbon steel shaft. T-slot on Cast Iron machine tool table.

Solution

Answer : The appropriate cutting tool always depends on the type of application,

Example: the CNC cutting tool or the milling guide pin holes but for the kind of application,

Guide pin holes in die steel mold ,

Basically mold (or) pin holes are used to describe the tool to produce the die steel molds

Molds are constructed from hardened steel or pre hardened steel, aluminium or the beryllium - Cu alloy,

Main advantage : less wear resistant and life span of the tool during the machining process.

(ii) for a key way on high carbon steel : broacher tool its process of cutting a key way is called to be the broaching

For the application of the cutting mainly a keyway , T-slots , end mills of high carbon steel alloy.
