Turning Centre Tooling
In the case of turning centers, generally the single point cutting tools are used for major operations such as turning and boring. Generally these have the square shank and accordingly the tool turrets have square slots to accommodate these shanks. Typical tool turret as used in CNC turning centers is shown in Figure 11.
