With so much choice in the cutting tool world, here at FORMAT Tools we understand that it can be hard for customers to work out which cutting tool manufacturer to choose. In our experience, six key factors that affect such an important decision include:

1. The quality of the cutting tool itself

2. How cutting tool distributors are chosen and monitored by the cutting tool manufacturer

3. Breadth of cutting tool choice

4. Speed of delivery of the cutting tool

5. How the cutting tool manufacturer runs their business and is structured

6. Cutting tools pricing policy

In this blog story we will focus on number three, the ‘Breadth of cutting tool choice.’

 Among various factors, the type of material machined, the application type and the surface finish all affect the choice of a cutting-tool material. An efficient choice in tooling can double tool life or double the cutting speed of the same tool.

 At FORMAT we supply all amounts of tools, in all assortments of the cutting tool industry whether it be milling, drilling, threading or even house hold amendments. We supply it all.
