The related between machine tools and cutting tools
The development of machine tools and cutting tools is complementary and promote each other. The cutting tool is the most active factor in the machining process system composed of machine tool, cutting tool and work piece. The cutting performance of the cutting tool depends on the
material and structure of the cutting tool. Machining productivity and tool life of high and low machining cost, machining precision and machining surface quality, to a large extent depends on the tool material, tool structure and cutting parameters of the reasonable choice. In recent decades, the tool material, which is the most basic ingredient in cutting, has been developed rapidly, and the tool structure has also been greatly enriched.
