A disc cutting turner is a specialist responsible for operating and programming disc cutting machines to perform machining operations on components. Its main task is to supervise the machining process, ensure smooth operation of the machine and control the quality of manufactured details.
A disc cutting turner must have solid knowledge of operating disc machines, programming skills, analytical skills and precision in work. In addition, he is responsible for the proper setting of cutting tools, selection of appropriate machining parameters and ensuring effective use of the machine to ensure high production efficiency.

Disc cutting – Application in industry
Disc machines are often used in the production of elements of various complexity and shape. For this reason, a disc machining turner must be flexible and ready to work on a variety of jobs. In addition, he must also have analytical skills to effectively manage the production process, solve possible technical problems and ensure high quality of manufactured details.
Disc cutting is one of the basic mechanical processing techniques. It involves removing excess material from the workpiece using a rotating disc-shaped tool, i.e. a cutting disc. This process can be used on lathes, milling machines and special disc machines.
The disc cutting technique is used in many industries. Including the metal, automotive, aviation, shipbuilding industries and the production of machines and tools. Moreover, it is widely used to produce various elements of varying complexity and shape. This includes equipment such as shafts, bushings, gears, and various types of details machined on lathes.
Production plants using disc cutting can be of various types, depending on the industry and the specific nature of production. These may be plants specializing in metal processing and the production of parts for machines and devices. In addition, plants producing elements for various industries.
The difference from other lathes
Disc cutting differs from other machining methods such as manual, CNC, vertical or spindle lathes mainly in terms of the tools used and the machining technique. In the case of machining on a manual lathe, the operator manually operates the cutting tools. However, in disc cutting, the tools are mounted on the cutting disc and rotate around an axis. However, in computer-controlled CNC machining, the programmer enters appropriate machining parameters, which are then performed by the machine.
Operating disc cutting machines requires special skills and qualifications. Especially when it comes to programming the machine tool and selecting appropriate machining parameters, such as rotational speed, feed or tool cooling. In addition, the operator must be properly trained in the operation of the machine and the safety rules for machining.
