Presented by Machining Efficiencies Inc, Gary Rodak, CMfgE, CMFS

A manufacturing floor-oriented workshop featuring microphotographic analysis of tool failure modes and specific recommendations for process improvement.

Processes investigated include:

Broaching (involute, helical, pot, surface, etc.), Hobbing, Boring, Drilling, Tapping, Reaming (straight, Mapal, etc.), Turning, Shaping, and Grinding.

This 8-hour seminar offers the machinist/engineer insight and practical methods for continuous improvement and problem resolution. In addition, attendees bring actual used tools and parts to identify improvements that are immediately applicable. Microscopic examination is performed live for the entire class to see the discussed techniques in action.

6 Sections to the Workshop:

• Chip Formation in the Cutting Zone
• Tool Wear Patterns and Process Improvements
• Troubleshooting Coolants in Central Systems
• The Cost of Manufacturing
• A Review of the Dynamic Analysis Techniques
• In-Class Analysis of Attendee's Tool Wear Patterns, Chips and resulting Part
