What can be done to prolong the life of cutting tools? - Micro Material UK

To prolong cutting tool life, consider these strategies:

1. Optimize Cutting Parameters – Use appropriate speed, feed rate, and depth of cut.
2. Coolants & Lubricants – Use coolants to reduce heat and lubricants to minimize friction.
3. Tool Material & Coating – Choose high-quality materials like carbide and apply advanced coatings (e.g., TiAlN).
4. Maintain Tool Geometry – Keep edges sharp and use optimized geometries for better performance.
5. Minimize Vibration – Reduce machine vibrations and ensure stability.
6. Regular Maintenance – Inspect tools regularly and calibrate machines for consistency.
7. Monitor Cutting Conditions – Track tool wear and adapt parameters based on the material being cut.

These practices improve tool performance, reduce wear, and extend their life.
