ToolsUnited offers three different ways to search for tools, allowing users to quickly find the information they need. In this tutorial, you will learn about each search method, how they differ from one another, and when to use them. By the end of this guide, you will be able to navigate the platform more efficiently and find the right tools with ease.
In ToolsUnited, you can search for tools in three ways: free-text search, parametric search, and application search.
If you have a part number (J21), the free-text search is the fastest way to find the right tool.
If you are looking for a tool based on tool characteristics, use the parameter search. The number of results is automatically updated with each additional search criterion.
Select from the classification tree (DIN 4000), e.g., indexable insert milling cutters (tool class SML = FSJ)
Within the class, e.g., corner cutters (tool type BLD = 1)
To define the shank (C11), you can use the built-in wizard (plus icon). It will guide you through selecting the shank type, shape, and diameter.
If you are looking for a tool based on the machining process, use the application search.
Select a manufacturing process, e.g., milling
Specify the tool class (e.g., shank-type milling tool)
Define machining operations, e.g., corner milling
