How to Reduce Tooling Costs?
- Replace solid carbide tools with interchangeable-head tools:
- Rough Milling: Replace solid carbide tools (Ø8–20 mm) with indexable inserts.
- Finish Milling: Replace solid carbide tools (Ø8–20 mm) with interchangeable-head solid carbide tools.
- Drilling: Replace solid carbide drills (Ø8–13 mm) with interchangeable-head drills.
- Use smaller inserts instead of larger ones for semi-finishing or finishing operations.

- Optimize cutting parameters reasonably
The order of influence of the three cutting parameters on tool life is: cutting speed (vc) > feed rate (f) > depth of cut (ap).
Increase depth of cut (ap) and feed rate (fn) appropriately, while reducing cutting speed (vc), to extend tool life without sacrificing machining efficiency.
.Eg：Ap：1.5mm Fz：0.25 Vc：300 Replace Ap：2.5 Fz：0.3 Vc：200
