Re: machine choice help
I want to know what technical specs I should ask the marketing guys before making a purchase. I am planning to start machining aerospace parts. Appreciate any feedback.
1. How much does having through coolant help?
2. Should I be concerned about the max spindle speed or the torque? What's the significance of both and where do they matter most??
3. I heard a senior advising me that cutting tools is more important than machine tool. How much of it is true? Can you get away with a cost effective machine tool by compensating for it with modern cutting tools?
4. What are the differences between a production machine and tooling machine?
5. I know there are BT40, HSK tool holders? Which is preferred and why? What advantages and disadvantaged do they offer??
Here to learn, share and stay.
