When a cutter breaks unexpectedly or surface finish finish is not up to scratch, incorrect feeds and speeds often take the blame, but often the real issue sits much closer to the spindle how the collet is tightened. Overtightening collets...
Tungsten carbide tools are essential for precision, durability, and efficiency. But what happens when those tools wear out? Often, old and worn cutters are tossed into the scrap bin, discarded without a second thought. Yet those used tools contain something...
Budget CNC tools often look like a clever way to cut costs. They’re cheap, easy to find, and quick to replace. But once they’re in use, the hidden costs can quickly appear: short lifespan, inconsistent results, slower production, and unexpected...
When you're working with a CNC router, the bit you choose makes a huge difference. With so many CNC router bit types available — Upcut, Downcut, Compression, and Straight router bits, it can get confusing fast. This guide breaks down...
When tools start to dull or underperform, the question usually is: “Is it worth sharpening these, or should we just buy new ones?” If you work in joinery, kitchen manufacturing, aluminium fabrication or shopfitting, you already know how crucial clean...
If your CNC's performance isn’t what it used to be, it’s often down to a few key issues. Addressing these can save you time and money while improving machine precision. But what causes performance issues, how can you prevent them,...
Have you ever calculated the true cost every time a CNC cutter breaks? It's far more expensive than just the expense of replacing a broken tool. Consider the hidden costs: the machine downtime while changing out the tool and its...
In the ever-evolving world of CNC machining, the demand for higher precision, faster cutting speeds, and longer-lasting tools has never been higher. Materials are becoming tougher, machines are cutting faster, and cutting tool materials and geometries are continuously improving. Amidst...
We all know that time is money. For Kitchen Creators, a progressive kitchen manufacturer based in Paraparaumu, a lot of time was wasted checking, changing, and resetting cutters. Switching to specialist coated cutters has proved the added value of coated...
