Turning Part

Turning Part is a command that allows us to detach our part from the stock cutting it. As you may imagine, cutting a part from the stock is typically the final operation to perform when turning a part. This type of operation is somewhat similar to grooving, with two major differences:

  • When cutting, the cut width is not driven by the geometry of the part. We can cut whatever width we prefer. Of course, a higher cutting width means more material wasted and higher cutting power needed. Whereas, on the other hand, a super slim and super sharp cutting tool will cost more money and will wear in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, we should always aim at a trade-off between the material and the tool cost.
  • When parting, our tool needs to plunge inside the stock, up until the rotation axis; therefore, cutting tools are usually longer and slimmer.

For the following example, we will need these two links:
