In this study unit you will learn about the fundamental methods and principles related to machining metal. It focuses on the tools used to cut metal. You will learn to recognize different types of tools and will learn why a specific tool is chosen for a given operation. You will be introduced to 3 key factors that are used to define all metal cutting operations - feed, depth of cut, and speed. You will also learn about the critical role of the cutting tool itself and how cutting tools are designed to improve metal cutting performance and to reduce tool wear. This unit discussed a broad variety of materials from which cutting tools are made and explains which tool materials are best suited to certain machining jobs. You'll learn about single point cutting tools and how small changes in tool design and construction can have a great effect on cutting effectiveness and on the quality of the machined part.
