1. When stainless steel is processed, the workpiece and the tool generate high heat, and the tool is easy to wear. Therefore, there are certain requirements for the knife, which must be wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant. At the same time, make the cutting edge sharp and choose a reasonable angle. 2. The speed is slow,…
