Selection of a proper cutting tool plays a significant role in
achieving consistent quality and controlling the overall cost in an
integrated manufacturing environment. The present paper
describes an approach to build of a computer interface support
for automatic tool selection for manufacturing features in a
turning process. Data-tools were collected from recent Machining
Handbook of world's leading manufacturer of tools, Sandvik
Coromant. This application works conjointly with an automatic
feature recognition system for rotational part. An example is
given to show how this approach, systematically, leads to the
choice of cutting tool packages for specific part features.
