There are three particularly sensitive areas of the tool holder assembly that can experience process-affecting wear and tear and cause a cycle to change.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

Selecting the appropriate pilot drill is critical to maximize performance and tool life of a succeeding deep hole or micro drill.

When using a high-performance drill, we do not recommend turning on coolant until the drill is inside a 1-2xD deep pilot hole.

As a raw material, tungsten carbide is a limited natural resource and a widely popular tool material due to its hardness and heat resistance. We can both save money by reducing the consumption of carbide and help our environment by fully utilizing every tool before recycling the rest.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.
