Proper tools are an integral part of a CNC precision machine shop and every machining process. After all, you need to use specific functioning tools for specific parts and tasks. When you have a good tool, you will probably use it until it wears out and then replace it when needed. Focusing on quality and durability will extend the lifespan and working capability of your tools. Have you ever given a second thought to tool shape? If not, it’s important to pay attention to your tools shapes, including the bottom of your tools. In fact, flat bottom tools have many unique benefits.
Machining costs aren’t cheap to begin with. Add in tool maintenance and replacement costs, and it really drives the cost up. Fortunately, you can save some money using flat bottom tools. They make this possible by eliminating the extra run-time by fitting exactly where they are required. They are often sturdier than traditional machining tools, thanks to their unique shape, and beat every other tool in terms of durability.
Flat bottom tools are an integral part of a CNC precision machine shop, because they are much more functional.
Some traditional drilling tools will create burrs, but flat bottom drilling tools help you avoid unexpected burrs on the other side of the material, while making way for straighter and regular holes.
When working with irregular surfaces, flat bottom drills are perfect, thanks to their geometry.
Flat bottom drilling can be very beneficial when countering with a half hole drilling. Due to the lack of material on both sides of the drill, any other machining tool may walk to the side of the material, but a flat bottom drill works closely on the cutting geometry, making it perfect for drilling half holes, even on the edge of the material.
Flat bottom tools are an integral part of any CNC precision machine shop and will make your life a little bit easier.
