Selecting CNC tooling

When writing programs for CNC machines it's important to keep in mind what tooling you will select to use for the job. Making the right selection depends on how well you understand the different factors that may affect the job you are doing. For example, when selecting tooling for a job you need to consider four factors:
  • the machine being used
  • the material being used
  • the needs of the customer, and
  • the specifications of the tool to be used.
All of these factors are related to each other and can affect the selection of tooling for a job. In the diagram below roll your mouse over the four factors to view questions relating to each factor.
