Machine Tool Accessories Complete Set: A Must-Have List of Tools to Enhance Processing Efficiency

Here is a complete list of machine tool accessories that help improve machining efficiency:

Clamp type

• Vice grip pliers: Used to clamp small workpieces, with the characteristics of simple structure and convenient use, can quickly position and clamp the workpiece, improving clamping efficiency.

• Chuck: The common ones are three-jaw chuck and four-jaw chuck. The three-jaw chuck can automatically center, and it is quick and convenient to clamp round workpieces; the four-jaw chuck can clamp irregularly shaped workpieces by adjusting the position of the jaw separately, and it has a wide range of applications.

• Vise: The workpiece is clamped to the workbench by bolts and nuts, with large clamping force, suitable for large or irregular workpieces, and the position of the vise can be flexibly arranged according to the shape of the workpiece and the processing requirements.

• Dividing head: It can divide the circumference of the workpiece into equal or unequal parts, often used to process parts with circular dividing requirements such as gears, splines, sprockets, etc., which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of processing.

Cutlery

• Drill bit: Used to process holes on the workpiece, there are twist drill, center drill, deep hole drill and many other types. According to different processing materials and the accuracy requirements of the hole, select the appropriate drill bit to improve the efficiency and quality of drilling.

• Milling cutter: There are many kinds, including end mill, vertical mill, face mill, keyway mill, etc. It can be used to process various shapes of surface, such as plane, step, groove, cavity, etc. Choosing the right milling cutter and cutting parameters can effectively improve the efficiency of milling.

• Boring tool: Used for finishing existing holes to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the holes. It can be single-edged, double-edged, or floating, and is suitable for machining holes of various diameters and depths.

• lathe tool: It is a tool commonly used in lathe processing, including external cylindrical lathe tools, internal hole lathe tools, thread lathe tools, and cutting tools, etc. According to the processing process and the material of the workpiece, select the appropriate lathe tool to improve the efficiency of turning and the quality of the processing.

Gauging tools

• Calipers: including vernier calipers, digital calipers, etc., can be used to measure the outer diameter, inner diameter, length, depth and other dimensions of the workpiece, with the characteristics of high measurement accuracy and convenient use, can timely detect the size of the workpiece, and ensure the accuracy of the processing.

• Calipers: There are outside calipers, inside calipers, depth calipers, etc., which have a higher measurement accuracy than rulers and are often used to measure the size of workpieces. They are important tools to ensure the accuracy of processing.

• Dial indicator: It is mainly used to measure the runout, flatness, perpendicularity and other shape tolerances of the workpiece, and can also be used to align the workpiece and measure the accuracy of the machine tool. It can help adjust the processing state and improve the processing quality.

• Gauge block: is a kind of high-precision standard measuring tool, which is used to calibrate and inspect the accuracy of other measuring tools, cutting tools, and can also be used to measure the size of workpieces. It is one of the basic tools to ensure the accuracy of processing.

Other attachments

• Tool Holder: Used to install and secure the tool, accurately positioning the tool on the machine tool spindle and transmitting the cutting force and torque. Different types of machine tools and tools require the use of corresponding tool holders, such as BT tool holders, HSK tool holders, etc.

• Tool Post: Used to store tools in the tool magazine of machine tools such as machining centers, allowing for the automatic exchange of tools and improving machining efficiency. There are various types of tool posts, such as disc-type tool posts, chain-type tool posts, etc.

• Cooling system: including cooling pump, cooling nozzle, etc., spraying coolant to the tool and workpiece during the machining process to play a cooling and lubricating role, which can reduce the cutting temperature, improve the tool life and the quality of the machined surface, and also can wash away the chips to ensure a clean machining environment.

• Chip removal device: Common ones include spiral chip removers, scraper chip removers, etc., which can timely remove chips generated during the machining process from the machine tool, prevent chips frompiling up to affect machining accuracy and the normal operation of the machine tool, and improve the efficiency of machining and the cleanliness of the working environment.
