Do you worry you are not getting the full benefit of your machines because of tooling decisions? These tool veterans illuminate how your machine and environment play a role in the performance of a tool (through-put and tool life); address the selection, use and care of the correct tools; and advance you to the goal of maximizing efficiency to achieve the extreme quality your customers demand. Learn the answers to choosing diamond, solid carbide or insert; collet or no collet; and shear angle. Find out how tools have evolved in recent years and about advanced tool holder technologies. Millwork, sheet goods, door, solid surface and other applications are referenced; calculating tooling cost per part will be covered. Get educated in CNC and general machining on proper tool selection; calculating tool cost per piece – “a cheap tool may be costing you too much money;” and maximizing your machine investments.
