Machining Center Economics

By tap-testing just ten milling tools, you may be able to justify the cost of a new machining center.

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Borrow milling tools (you can use worn endmills for tap-tests) from customer or replicate tools from your supplier. They will not be used for cutting so they can be returned unused. Select better tooling and/or toolholders as you and your supplier see fit.
  2. Tap-test each milling tool in your machining center. Submit files to BlueSwarf.
  3. BlueSwarf will generate Dashboards.
  4. Enter Dashboard data into the above calculator, optimized to your machine’s capabilities. NOTE: The Dashboards may find extra time in underutilized tools and suggest changes in other tooling to utilize the new machine’s improved power, speed and feed rates. Replace or re-configure those tools and re-tap.
  5. Present results.
