How to Manage Cutting Tool Inventory in a Small Job Shop | The One-Person Shop

Let’s talk about all the tool inventory a small CNC machining job shop might require. Because the shop has to be prepared to machine an unexpected job both quickly and cost-effectively, it needs to keep a wide range of tools at the ready. That is, the right set of tools for whatever job might come. The shop therefore could have an amount of money tied up in tool inventory equivalent to the cost of a piece of machinery. How should the shop manage, maintain and organize this investment? Dan Donaworth of Dan’s Custom Machining discusses tool inventory in this episode of The One-Person Shop, a video series from Modern Machine Shop.
