Fast should never supersede quality or consistency. And depending on the job, eliminating downtime by eliminating or mitigating tool changes, avoiding scrap parts or damaging machine through excessive speeds is the better route. Speed is absolutely important, but only a part of the equation.

Whats even worse: loosing your customer because your machine broke

This guy sounds like just the head of company and then when machines go down he is like why is it broken we have dead lines but go faster
MrW
Leave it up to the dudes sellin the tools to tell you to break your tools

Chill out Titan. If we break them, we can just order another one from YOU right. YOU’LL take care of us

Just think of how much harder you can push your machine if you use coolant.

Damn didn’t think the yappers would influence the machining guys

At work they tried to ramp up the machines but things started wearing out a lot faster. Then they introduced a self lubricating bearing that wore out in a 1/10th the time it was supposed to. Only trouble is that bearing had to come from France. While we were down we notice all sorts of parts were wearing down all too quickly. Now we run at the just under the suggested speed. SMH.

I work at a big manufacturer. When we started using better quality end mills and drills it was a struggle to recommend the feeds of speeds needed to optimize the tool. But it worked.

Really easy to say when you don't even have to buy the machines

As long as everyone’s safe, the part is sound, the client is happy, and the bill gets paid, it’s the right way to do it.

At the end of the day, all the customer cares about is getting a correct and quality part. They dont gaf about time, as long as parts are correct.

What's really not good is the product designers that do not give a flying duck for the manufacturing process. Sometimes the shapes and geometries required could be simplified making the manufacturing 10x faster and less prone to errors.

Chillnel

I wish I could get professionally taught how to do all this stuff but I'm skef taught and already have worked for multiple knife companies but I am always teaching myself more and doing reserch about it all

Quality and doing things right pay off in the long run, and ppl that want to learn will create success. Those fast cuts are theoretically great, but you gotta be smart to do that. All parameters and set up rigid yada yada need to be perfect. Most ppl aren't smart enough to do that, and or didn't have those great mentor pounding that ethic in their heads.
