How to Know If Router Bits Wear Out

 

How to know if router bits wear out?

You can judge from the following respects:

 

1.    Judging whether router bits wear out and wear amount, the most direct method is listening:

(1)  If cutting sound is very heavy, screaming or shrill, it means the work state of CNC tools is abnormal;

(2)  If ruling out the problems as below, you can judge that router bits are worn;

   Router bits quality problem itself;

   Tools installation problem;

   Cutter Setting problem;

(3)  Now, you have to suspend cnc router, and replace new slotting cutter;

 

2.    See the cut process:

If cutting is irregular and not in normal state obviously, it proves that router bits wear out;  

 

3.    Judge router bits wear out by motion state in cnc process:

(1)  If the parameter setting is reasonable, such as machining parameters and cutting parameters;

(2)  Exists vibration in machining operation;

(3)  With a droning sound;

Right now, we can confirm that sintered cutters have reached to a rapid wear state, and need replacing;

 

4.    Observe machine loading:

When the machine load is increased significantly, it states that router bits wear out;

(Except the situation when cnc spindle is increasing or reducing speed)

 

5.    If ball endmill is not in work state, you can judge by observing:

(1)  Whether cutter blade is tipping;

(2)  Clear signs of wear;

(3)  If has a sharp edge;

(4)  The blade edge has changed;

 

6.    To bulk processing, the most common way is to note down the lifetime of each cnc router bit.

So you can detect whether router bits wear out according to tool life;

 

7.    When tool wear to a certain extent, it will become very obvious that:

(1)  The cutting force is enlarged;

(2)  The cutting temperature is rising;

(3)  The cutting color is changed;

(4)  Even happen vibration;

(5)  Meanwhile, the workpiece dimension maybe beyond the tolerance zone;

(6)  Machined surface quality is worsening markedly;

 

In short – observe, listen and touch are the fastest and more direct judging method!

Following the above points, and gradually accumulate your own experience, we believe you will judge whether router bits wear out and wear degree quickly! It will facilitate faster processing operations.
