Balance Turning Tools

Balance Turning Tools are strong and free cutting. You need only one set of blades to turn

all sizes within the capacity of the machine. The blades cut tangentially and are adjusted

simply by swinging them up or down.

For finish turning or holding close tolerances, it is recommended that both blades be set

to cut to finish size. This provides a truly balanced cut with each blade cutting to equal

depth and removing an equal amount of stock. When set in this manner, the feed on each

blade is one-half the feed of the turret, which means longer tool life and better control of

tolerance and finish.

For rough turning, you can set one blade to the rough dimension while the other blade is set to the finished size. Two

hardened blade are furnished.
