Turning Tools

About Turning Tools

Turning tools are used on lathes for cutting or finishing the outside diameter of a workpiece. Turning tools can be used to produce cylindrical parts. In its basic form, turning can be defined as the machining of an external surface with the workpiece rotating, or with a single-point cutting tool. There are several types of turning tools. Examples include wood turning tools and a lathe cutting tool. Wood turning tools are used for woodturning and are used to meet the needs of a wood turner. A wood turning tool can be of various types such as a spindle gouge, roughing gouge, oval skew chisel, round nose scraper, parting tool, hollowing tool, and a bowl gouge. A lathe cutting tool is held by a tool holder. A tool holder is secured to a tool post using a quick release lever. In order to move a lathe cutting tool, the lathe saddle and cross slide can be moved by hand. Other turning tools are commonly available.
