Cobra Carbide offers a variety of coatings for its tools to better serve your cutting and drilling needs. According to a general rule of thumb, a significant reduction of costs in mechanical machining can only be achieved by increasing the performance of the deployed tools.
- A 50% increase in service life reduces manufacturing costs by 1%.
- If tool costs are reduced by 30%, this also results in a 1% reduction of manufacturing costs.
- A 20% increase of cutting parameters cuts manufacturing costs by 15%.
