| Dry Steel Turning Pays Off With Lower Parts Costs, Longer Tool Life |
Wet turning is an old habit that costs money and can compromise productivity, especially with advances in carbide turning insert technology that now make dry turning more attractive than ever before. Dry turning is not appropriate everywhere. Using carbine inserts, thin-walled parts or those with tolerances tighter than 0.001" can be subject to excessive thermal distortion if turned without coolant. |
