Cutter Types (Lathe)

Tool Speeds
There is a chart outside of the Machine Shop Office that shows tooling and material speeds. Pay close attention to this whenever working with the Lathe. If you are unsure what material the tool is made out of be sure to ask, for the most part, if the tool is shiny it is made from High Speed Steel, and if the tool has a dull and greyish finish, it is made from or plated with Carbide.
