In CNC machining, tool wear is one of the most critical issues that cannot be ignored. It directly affects machining accuracy, surface roughness, cutting efficiency, and tool cost, and indirectly impacts the overall equipment utilization rate on the production floor. By understanding the mechanisms behind tool wear, identifying wear conditions, and applying effective preventive strategies, manufacturers can significantly improve machining stability while reducing long-term tool and equipment costs. This guide covers the impact of tool wear, causes, types, life-influencing factors, monitoring methods, and concludes with a recommended solution—PARFAITE HER High-Speed Collet Chuck Holders—to help you build a complete and practical tool-wear management strategy.
