One of the most expensive mistakes in manufacturing is choosing tooling based on unit cost. A £40 tool that lasts half as long as a £90 tool isn’t cheaper. It’s more expensive. Always. The real metric that matters is: Cost per component. That includes: Tool life Cycle time Machine uptime Scrap rate Operator intervention When…
Leveraging CNC Wood Tooling for High-Volume Furniture Production CNC wood tooling sits at the heart of any fast, reliable furniture line. On large batches of panels, frames, or carcasses moving through a factory every day, the tools on the spindle carry out the core cutting work. The way those tools are designed, manufactured and managed…
Working with softer timbers like pine or cedar might seem simple at first, but the right tools still matter. Soft grain can react differently depending on the tool used, and even minor features on a cutter can impact the results. This is where smart choices around wood tooling come in. A better match between cutter…
