Tool wear is exponentially accelerated by cutting speed. This relationship is defined by Taylor's tool life equation:
Blasts fluid directly into the cutting zone at pressures exceeding 1,000 PSI to break chips instantly.
Modern CNC machines allow for advanced milling paths that reduce cycle times and extend tool life. Conventional vs. Climb Milling
A circular tool path that maintains a constant engagement angle. This prevents thermal shock and allows for deep cuts at high speeds. modern metal cutting a practical handbook free
The angle that prevents the tool from rubbing against the workpiece. Tool Materials
Match tool materials to the specific workpiece hardness and abrasiveness.
The thickness of the chip compared to the original uncut chip thickness. Tool wear is exponentially accelerated by cutting speed
Atomizes a tiny amount of biodegradable oil into a compressed air stream.
