Top 7 “No shit Sherlock” ways to reduce cycle time. Reducing cycle time on CNC machines is critical for improving productivity and reducing costs in manufacturing. Duh.

Gorilla Coatings

Choosing the right coating can be crucial for enhancing tool life. Especially in those tougher to machine materials. Gorilla Mill tools are amazing already. But having a seriously tough coating just adds to the badassery! Let’s go over a few of ’em shall we?

Regrinds

The vast majority of your tooling that Gorilla Mill or anyone else manufactures can be re-sharpened and recoated to “like new” condition on one of our state-of-the-art CNC tool and cutter grinders at a fraction of a new tool’s cost.

GM Edge Prep

Tool edge preparation is one of the four main factors in successful cutting tool manufacturing.

Chip Thinning

Keep productivity high with a high feed rate. Chip thinning is a powerful process that provides you with a great opportunity for improved productivity and reduced costs.

Chimpbreakers vs Knuckledraggers

When deciding on a roughing end mill, both the Chimpbreaker and the Knuckledragger have common geometries.
