No. Field<br />

Data Type<br />

Type Width<br />

7. Scan the tool data base (from MRIR) for the condition<br />

(tool type � turning<br />

1st digit (ISO 1) � cl<strong>amp</strong>ing system<br />

2nd digit (ISO 2) � insert shape<br />

3rd digit (ISO 3) � holder style<br />

4th digit (ISO 4) � insert clearance angle<br />

5th digit (ISO 5) � direction of cutting<br />

6th and 7th digits (ISO 6) � Maximum shank<br />

8th and 9th digits (ISO 7) � Maximum shank<br />

11th and 12th digits (ISO 9) � exact cutting edge)<br />

and report all the tools qualified.<br />

Description<br />

1 Number Numeric 3 Serial number<br />

2 Toolcode Character 12 Tool code (it is company specific code, not ISO code),<br />

which is stored in PPIR as “pocket.tool”.<br />

3 Tooltype Character 2 Denotes the type of the cutting tool as follows:<br />

TT—Turning, TP—Parting,<br />

TS—Threading, TG—Grooving,<br />

TC—Chamfering, TF—Forming,<br />

TR—Radius, TB—Boring,<br />

TK—Knurling, DD—Twist drill,<br />

DC—Centre drill, DR—Reamer,<br />

DB—Counter bore, DS—Counter sink,<br />

DP—Spade drill, MF—Face mill,<br />

ME—End mill, MS—Slab mill,<br />

4 Material Character 1 Specifies the tool material as follows:<br />

H—HSS, W—Carbide, M—Ceramic,<br />

C—Coated carbide, B—CBN, D—Diamond.<br />

5 Height Numeric 6,2 These three fields represent the tool holder<br />

6 Width Numeric 6,2 dimensions. Width and height (or diameter) and<br />

7 Length Numeric 6,2 length of the tool holder are stored (all in mm).<br />

8 Geo_1 Numeric 6,2 Geometric elements relevant to the<br />

9 Geo_2 Numeric 6,2 process planning, such as approach angle,<br />

10 Geo_3 Numeric 6,2 rake angle, clearance angle, etc.,<br />

11 Geo_4 Numeric 6,2 will be stored in these fields.<br />

12 ISO_Code Character 13 ISO code for the tool holder.<br />

13 Bit_Code Character 12 ISO code for the insert.<br />

14 Cost Numeric 4 Cost of the tool in rupees.<br />

15 Company Character 20 Name of the tool manufacturers.<br />

16 Available Character 1 Yes or true : Tool is available.<br />

No or false : Tool is not available.<br />

17 Remarks Character 25 Any remarks about the tool.<br />

8. Based on the work material, type, and nature of operation, select the insert grade.<br />

Some Comments on Tool Selection<br />

The selection of plain turning tools is shown in the previous section. Depending upon the machining<br />

operation to be carried out, different procedures are invoked for selecting the tool. This section highlights<br />

some features of the tool selection.
