Perishable Tool Life: Why it Matters

Why understanding the importance of your perishable tool life matters

For savvy manufacturers, and for people who make what matters, understanding the importance of perishable tool life is a no brainer.

Tool spend is a critical part of the manufacturing process, and you’d be surprised at the impact perishable tool life has to the bottom line of your business.

Standard machining centers typically lack the rigidity, vibration control and supporting technologies required to successfully manage curing conditions that lead to tool degradation. 

Makino users, however, have significantly lower perishable tool costs

By using a Makino Machining Center, Makino users report that:

• Production is increased to 25%
• Tool life is extended from 17 – 23 %
• Tool costs decreased approx. 15%
