External turning
Identify the outside profile, direction of cut, available holder and the work material before comparing a tooling route.
Turning Tools · Perth & WA
Start with the turning operation, work material, machine and current setup, then use the CTMES catalogue and application resources to narrow the conversation.

Turning-tool selection begins with the cut that needs to be made. External and internal work, facing and profile changes place different demands on the holder, insert and available space.

Identify the outside profile, direction of cut, available holder and the work material before comparing a tooling route.
Bring the bore dimensions, access limits and current bar or holder details so the internal operation can be discussed clearly.
Describe the face, shoulder or profile to be produced and any approach or clearance constraint that affects the setup.
For parting or groove work, include the groove or component dimensions and the current setup in the enquiry.
Share the work material, machine, holder or interface, relevant dimensions, current tool or insert reference, and the result you are trying to improve. A drawing or clear photograph can help explain the setup.
CTMES can then direct you to the relevant turning catalogue or guide and discuss the next practical step without treating one tool as suitable for every operation.
Contact CTM Engineering Supplies in Malaga with the turning operation and the setup details you have available.
