Tools For

Large Part

Manufacturing

In principle, machining large parts involves the same cutting
action and chip formation process as for small or mid-size
parts. However, large dimensions demand a specific approach
to machining, and manufacturers need to plan technological
processes and choose more effective cutting tools in order to
produce heavy parts that take up a great deal of space.

Machining large parts involves removing a lot of Large part manufacturers expect the same from
material that may cause significant deformations due cutting tools as any other producer using metal cutting
to unrelieved stresses. Another factor, which leads to technologies: excellent performance, good tool life, and
dimensional problems, is thermal expansion caused by high reliability. The latter two are especially essential
