The purchase price of an insert is only the first step in a long and complex process which eventually ends in the waste bin of worn inserts \u2013 hopefully after as many workpieces as possible have been correctly machined.
\nEveryone in the machining industry agrees that too much money is spent on the wrong inserts. We are all aware of the problem, but what is the solution? Most companies simply try to purchase inserts more cheaply. That is of some help, but it is not a solution to the problem. So why not opt for a more structured approach?
\nSome buyers often spend considerable time negotiating lower prices. The effect of this on the total production costs, however \u2013 let alone productivity \u2013 can be negligible. The purchase price of an insert is only the first step in a long and complex process which eventually ends in the waste bin of worn inserts, hopefully after as many workpieces as possible have been correctly machined.
\nPragmatic study<\/strong>
\nAll workshops have a collection point for worn inserts. There is nothing quite as interesting as studying worn inserts \u2013 it results in a pragmatic view of how inserts are used (or abused) and which measures can be taken to realize cost reductions. Consideration should be given to easily measurable factors:<\/p>\n
