CASE STUDY M4 8XD MICRO END MILL

INDUSTRYGOALS
AEROSPACEThe goals of this study were to significantly reduce job cost through the
implementation of superior tooling and increased manufacturing efficiencies.
MATERIAL
347 Stainless Steel (28 HRc Hardness)STRATEGY
KSPT approached the job with a 4 flute 8XD Micro End Mill. The four flute
PRODUCTdesign allows for higher feed rates and decreased deflection, improving
M4 8XD Micro End Millsproductivity and surface finish.

RESULTS The overall findings of this study indicate KSPT’s 4 flute micro end mill blew away the competitor’s 3 flute tool in efficiency and effectiveness. KSPT's tool was able to capacitate a 94% higher speed and a 100% greater feed rate. Those combined efficiencies were able to cut the cycle time in half! Because of the higher quality tool, the customer was able to produce 160 parts per KSPT tool. The competitor’s 3 flute end mill was only able to produce 1 part per tool. Thus, the tool change cost was reduced by over 99%! Additionally, since KSPT only used 3 total tools to complete the job, the customer benefited from a new tool cost reduction by over 99%. The M4 8XD 4 flute micro end mill ultimately saved the customer a grand total of $12,030.34, resulting in a 98.88% cost reduction! These tools, albeit small, are an epic step forward for micro machining.
