Increased Feed Rates Increased Material Removal Increased Tool Life RESULTS The changes made to the application combined with the high performance geometry of the KSPT Series 33 End Mill resulted in an annual gain of 104.25 production hours. In addition to meeting the goal for improved cycle times, tool life was increased from 20 to 240 parts per tool. This reduced the tooling cost per part by 91%, allowing the end user to achieve a total annual cost savings of $263,100.
