Turning & Facing Urethane Parts

Polyurethane turning tool

Polyurethane turning toolIn general, use sharp tools, high turning speed, and slow to moderate feeds (depending on hardness). Cutting tools for urethane must have sharp, carefully honed cutting edges. Sharpen tools on a honing stone for a razor sharp edge on the sides, tip, and top of your tools. We have found success with both high speed and carbide tools.

Tool clearances must be greater than those used for metal. The goal is to have little or no resistance as the tool travels through the urethane. The chip (material that is being cut away) should come off as a continuous strip or ribbon. A smooth surface on the top of your tool will aid in chip removal. This is very important to prevent the chip from wrapping back around the workpiece. Good chip removal is also critical for heat removal and tool life.
