Buy the best quality, treat them with respect.

Tooling is covered by machine rate for the most part. Some jobs that eat tools I'll add that into jobs cost.

Buying specialized tool for a job I liken to tooling and fixtures...becomes part of the job. Example...one bore I found was only attainable with a Burnishing tool @ $500. While the tool is adjustable...it it only adjustable within .03 so becomes job specific especially as bore was not a nominal size.

If I buy something say like a Wobble head for Rotary Broaching at a 1k, the head becomes part of the machine tooling along with the broach used and not billed to customer.

So...it short the answer is "It Depends".
