14. Machining variablesMachining variables
•Poorly aimed coolant will cause variations in tool cutting
temperature resulting in uncertain wear characteristics, ultimately
impacting on part size and finish, this also increases the
frequency of tool replacement which introduces further areas of
uncertainty
SpiderCool negates this uncertainty by accurately and repeatedly
applying coolant to the same point on any given tool consistently
time and time again
•Coolant is one of the major causes of process variation, if not
accurately applied it can have a dramatic effect on part to part
variation.
