3.13 How to Choose Correct Solution?
A major consideration in selecting the desired solution is the cost per unit for a part that is
machined by the tool. In spite of the fact that the tooling cost share in cost per unit is minor,
the tool’s indirect influence on cost per unit reduction can be considerable. The tool, even
though it is a small part of manufacturing process, can sometimes represent an obstacle to THREAD MILLING
a machine tool running faster and cutting machining time. Therefore, tools with the highest
efficiency should be used for better productivity and, as a result, lower cost per part.
Tool selection should be considered by applying this analysis: Application -Tool Configuration
– Tool Material – Economical Consideration.
