Eagle CNC

Right now, these tools are sharp, clean, and fresh out of the box ⚙️

Give them enough cutting time, heat, friction, vibration, and chip load—and they’ll eventually wear down like every other cutting tool.

But *how* do they wear down?

Tool life is influenced by numerous factors:

✔️ Cutting speed
✔️ Feed rates
✔️ Material hardness
✔️ Coolant delivery
✔️ Chip evacuation
✔️ Tool coatings
✔️ Machine rigidity and chatter

Tool degradation is not a one-factor pony 🎠

Which is why machinists pay so much attention not just to the part being machined, but also to the condition of the tool doing the machining.
