Choosing cutting tools: start with the drawing

Define the inputs

Gather the drawing, workpiece material, hole type and depth before making a tooling inquiry. This helps avoid selection based only on diameter.

Check machining conditions

Add information about the machine, holder and cooling setup. Specific cutting parameters should be confirmed for the exact tool and actual conditions.

Agree on inspection criteria

Discuss dimensions, tolerances and acceptance methods. Keep the consultation notes with the tool specification for procurement review.
