What's The Best Time for Changing Router Bits

 

What's the best time for changing router bits?

Let's analyze first:

 

After router bits wear out heavily, the cutting force can increase to 3 times. Moreover, cutting force has a great effect on the spindle service life:

The lifetime of router spindle is the third power of cutting capability in reverse proportion.

 

For example, under the situation of increasing cutting ability threefold, process one minute equals to the normal use of cnc spindle for 27 minutes. It is clear that, heavy wear of router bits, affects not only processing performance, but also spindle working life.    

 

So, what's the best time for changing router bits?

The most appropriate time is at about two-thirds of lifetime limit.

For instance, downcut cutters appear wear at 600 minutes, we should change router bits at 4000 minutes when processing next time.

 

We must form a good habit of changing router bits regularly, to guarantee excellent machining quality and longer machine spindle lifetime.
