Background

With increasing manufacturing costs and decreasing profit margins, it is extremely important for machine tool users to choose the right type of tooling that will produce accurate parts at lower costs. Application of right tooling can boost throughput and improve the quality of finished parts drastically and also reduce machining cost by as much as 20%.

Key Takeaways

1. Understand tool nomenclature and select right tools based on application
2. Select proper cutting parameters and optimise for productivity / quality
3. Understand fineries of milling and hole making operations done in CNC machining centres
4. Observe live demo of optimised machining operations in CNC
