Sometimes tool bits wear down and break, it is part of the process of manufacturing so knowing what to do when it happens is crucial. In this episode I talk to Jake White and lean in on his years of machine tool experience to uncover the best tools and strategies in order to avoid long term breakage related delays in your manufacturing workflow. We look at how to get up and running quickly by understanding the best ways to anticipate and deal with tool bits wearing down and probe breakage. We also look at how to know if a tool has broken in the first place. Most breaks or chips are not obvious or even perceivable by the human eye and acting early avoids downstream delays and scrap parts.

If you are a manufacturer this is essential knowledge for any operation. If you are a person that loves to learn about cutting edge technologies and workflow strategies in manufacturing this episode is also for you.

Thank you for listening!
