Hinterstechen ist eine Art der Hinterschneidung, speziell für Dreharbeiten. Dort sagt nach man auch nicht Schneidwerkzeug, sondern Stechwerkzeug

Ein Drehmeißel - in der Schweiz und ugs. in deutschen Betrieben auch Drehstahl - ist ein Werkzeug, das in der spanabhebenden Bearbeitung zum Drehen eingesetzt wird.
:
Je nach angewandtem Drehverfahren gibt es unterschiedliche Arten von Drehmeißeln. Dies sind Drehmeißel mit genormten DIN-Wendeschneidplatten für die gängigsten Bearbeitungen, Stechmeißel zum Einstechen von Nuten und Abstechen von Bauteilen, sowie Gewindedrehmeißel zum Gewindedrehen.

The location and depth of the recess for the three plastic spring clips on the CrushGrind shaft and wood mechanisms is one of the key cuts to successfully fit the mechanisms correctly. The recess cutting tool helps you achieve this.


What it is

The tool blade is shaped in such a way that the groove position can be cut accurately if the shoulder is lined up with the end of the cut-out portion of the tool blade. Additionally the 'V' notch gave me the correct positioning for cutting the groove in the drive portion of the mechanism on both the shaft and wood mechanisms.

High Speed Steel

The body can be adjusted so that the cutting tool is set close to the I.D. or O.D. to be recessed.

When the turret is advanced the body moves sideways to desired depth of recess.

Circular Recess Tool Blanks
Available in a wide variety of shank sizes, head diameters and lengths to fit all recessing tools and for all types of jobs. These tool blanks are made from hardened M2 high speed steel.

Hole-making can be performed on a variety of machines, including general machining equipment such as CNC milling machines or CNC turning machines.
:
Recessed top - A common feature of machined holes is to recess the top of the hole into the workpiece. This is typically done to accommodate the head of a fastener and allow it to sit flush with the workpiece surface. Two types of recessed holes are a counterbore, which has a cylindrical recess, and a countersink, which has a cone-shaped recess.

HEAVY-DUTY ADJUSTABLE STATIONARY RECESS ATTACHMENT
used for internal recessing cuts such as back chambers, O-ring grooves, etc... and where finish is a must! (Also available in stationary recess - not shown)

The essence of lathe tool grinding, as I think of it, is to undercut the tip of the tool to provide 'relief' so that the metal just below the cutting tip does not contact the work.
