For many situations, it's actually an "inferred wear", where in production size changes are noted on the parts, and at intervals cutter comp is adjusted. When judgement and past performance indicates, the cutter is swapped for new, the comp reset, and the cycle restarted.
In other cases, direct observation is made of changes in surface finish on parts, or unacceptable increases in part internal corner geometry require endmill change from tool corner breakdown.
And then there's the 'ol run it until it breaks method...
What are your circumstances? Is this just looking for a level of edge dulling to use as removal criteria?
You see it in the quality of the cut...Phil
Hi All
I'm just wondering how you all measure wear on your endmills? I don't have an optical comparator so was wondering what the best way is with normal measuring tools that I have around the workshop.
Cheers in advance :-)
