Router Bit Diary

After speaking with many customers regarding cutting various materials, I came upon the idea of suggesting that when starting to operate a CNC maybe a good record of all of the trial and error that one may encounter should be written down in a log.
There are many times a customer will speak to me not recalling what tool he used when he cut a particular material "way back when".
A simple way to do this is to record the following:

1. Material you are cutting.
2. Tool specifications: Diameter, Cutting edge length, Cut direction etc.
3. Part number of tool located on shank of tool.
4. Cutting depth
5. Feed and speed used
6. Time to complete project etc.
7. Any problems encountered
8. Date and time

Even though this may seem a little boring and mundane at first it will be well worth it to achieve success with your business.

Just these little steps can help both the customer and the supplier to speed up the process and to help out in organization.

Much Success!
