Hi fellow Machinists
I am trying to determine / predict tool life. I have various tools that I want to apply this to. I am aware that determining this is very difficult due to the number of variables. But I am simply looking for a prediction.
I am currently working on RFQ's and my tool life expectancy is generally taken from experience aka a random number that pops into my head :L. I want to be able to have a foot to stand on if the question is raised "how did you predict your tool life?" instead of saying "Emmm I guessed it"
I am aware of Taylor's tool life equation but if anyone has anything else that would help me in this matter, I would very much appreciate the guidance
Regards,
TT
