Basic knowledge of CNC tools

‌CNC tool‌ is a tool used for cutting and processing in mechanical manufacturing, also known as cutting tools. The broad sense of cutting tools includes both tools and abrasive tools; at the same time, "CNC tools" include accessories such as tool rods and tool handles in addition to cutting blades.

Classification
CNC tools can be classified according to different standards:

‌ By structure: integral type, welding type, machine clamp type (including non-index and indexable), special type (such as composite type, shock absorbing type)‌
1.
‌Classification by material: high-speed steel tools, carbide tools, diamond tools, cubic boron nitride tools, ceramic tools, etc.
1.
‌Classification by cutting process: turning tools (including outer circle, inner hole, thread, cutting, groove cutting tools), drilling tools (including drill bits, reamers, taps), boring tools, milling tools, etc.

Common types and their applications
‌Turning tool: used to process outer circle, inner hole, end face, thread and groove, etc. The structure types include integral turning tool, welding turning tool, machine clamping turning tool, indexable turning tool and molding turning tool
2.
Milling cutter: used for milling and processing, rotating tool with one or more tool teeth, often used in processing processes such as steps, grooves, forming surfaces and cutting workpieces.
3.
Material and performance
The material of CNC tools has an important impact on their performance. Common materials include:

‌High-speed steel‌: cheap, but easy to wear, suitable for general processing‌
4.
‌Alloy tool‌: High temperature resistance, wear resistance, suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency processing‌
4.
‌Corrested Carbide‌: High hardness and strong cutting force, suitable for difficult-to-process materials such as stainless steel and titanium alloys‌
4.
Maintenance and maintenance
In order to extend the service life of CNC tools and improve machining efficiency, the following points need to be paid attention to:

‌Correct tool material and type‌: Select the appropriate tool material and type according to the processing materials and process requirements.
‌Rational use and maintenance‌: Avoid excessive use and improper operation, and regularly inspect and maintain tools.
‌Timely replace worn tools‌: Avoid processing quality problems caused by tool wear.
