Identify Wear on Precision Cutting Tools for Improved Performance
Understanding how a tool wears can provide valuable clues that may lead to improved performance. Different tools will wear at different rates and can depend on factors such as the material cutting, speed and the feed rates, tool coating, and more. It’s impossible to prevent tool wear, but you can manage it. Proper management helps achieve a range of operational goals, including increasing the speed, volume, and quality of your production. All of these factors can help contribute to cost savings and increased throughput.
