- For a machining shop to provide quality services to the people of Toronto, it is crucial that cleanliness and organization are given top importance. The two are inseparable. For cleanliness to prevail, a shop must be well organized and vice versa. Being clean and organize inside the machining shop doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot. You can tap into your existing resources and make something out of unused materials. A great example is by making an organizer for all your hand tools using old cardboard boxes. It is easy to make and very cheap.
- Apply the so-called 18% solution to lengthen the life of your tools. For tools that are made of materials such as titanium and Inconel, it is ideal to increase the concentration of the coolant used on the tools. Upping the solution by 18% could ensure a longer tool life.
- The speed of the spindle is not important if you are aiming for a faster machining. Employ the method of axial chip thinning and see how high-feed mills are able to speed up the removal rate of the metal despite the spindle speed of the machine remaining at low.
- In order to provide quality machining services in Toronto, it is important that you maintain your patience and your focus. According to studies, painting the walls of the machining shop could help change the vibe. The color green and the natural environment creates a calming effect that helps in maintaining focus and longer patience.
- Tool presetters are ideally used on job shops because of how often the changing of tools happens.
- Time is more important compared to any materials on the shop. Operators need to realize that they should not waste time on one thing because the lost time could accomplish a lot if used in a more productive manner rather than searching for lost things.
- Some important tips to remember when you are machining components choose sharp tools that operate at low feed rates and high spindle speeds.
- If you want to put away some workpieces, use magnets to hold them temporarily. If you want to make sure that the parts don’t get twisted, use dowel pins.
- Plunge roughing must only be employed in the following 3 cases: for deep slot/pocket, chatter poses danger and machines for lighter duty.
- Machining processes can be perfected through prototyping that way it will be ready for use in production runs.
- If you are working with parts that does not need turning, lathes that are equipped with milling and drilling are the perfect choice.
- Metal parts that are done in the machines can be submerged in oil to prevent rust from developing.
- Don’t throw away the used cutters. They can still be used on parts that need semi-finishing with lower accuracy level requirement.
