Metal Work Techniques - The Past and the Present

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Kellie

It is important for metal craft workers today to value the artistic techniques and skills utilized by the skilled metal artisans from the past. These days, decorative metalworking and metal work techniques are going through what they call 'a new beginning ' since more and more people are becoming interested in metal crafting. Every artisan should know how to use different hand tools skillfully for them to create excellent metal work items.

A lot of people these days may think that the decorative metal production is considered old-fashioned but on the contrary, it is gaining popularity. Metal crafting requires different metal work techniques that should be studied and practice. With the right knowledge and tools, you can easily create metal crafts that can even last for many years.

A lot of old iron designs are usually used by modern artisans as inspiration for new designs. Most of the time, these craftsmen use these old ideas to combine with modern designs in order to suit today's lifestyle. For instance, they would replicate them in outdoor garden furniture, garden structures, household utensils and others.

Long ago , metal artisans didn't have the ease of having modern tools such as arc welders to put their works together. What they had were special metal work techniques and methods to piece their metals and create their work of art.

There are different metal work techniques that should be learned and practice especially if you want to make a career out of metal working. Machinists utilize advanced machines to work with metals while there are other techniques used to make the job easier. It is necessary to study the modern metal work techniques so that you can achieve your goal quickly and more effectively.

CNC Mill. This machine cuts metal through a program made by a CNC programmer or machinist. Although this machine tends to do deeper cutting, a lot of workers are making thinner cuts at the speed of four hundred inches per minute. This metal work technique will let you cut a piece of metal in numerous passes faster. It is recommended to have a combined tool that you can use for roughing as well as for the finishing process. The roughing procedure brings the metal close to the required measurements while the finishing procedure finalizes the metal to its finished look. Using modern tools that combine the two processes make the work a lot easier and more efficient.

CNC Lathe. This technique cuts the metal while spinning. It is used for cutting and drilling parts that need to be cylindrical. Cutting the piece into smaller pieces at a faster pace prevents disastrous tool failure. The function of CNC lathe is different from milling since the piece spins, not the tool.

Manual Milling. You can increase the speed of manual mills with the modern cutting tools. In this technique, you need to change the tools by hand. The good thing about new manual mills is that they have better accuracy. In addition, using different new technologies can greatly help with efficiency.
