Throwing one tool at a time, storing  tools that have not reached their lifespan casually, and not knowing where to put half used  tools?

How should I manage half of the tool to avoid wasting it?

Firstly, it is recommended to adopt a tool set management approach, where the entire set of cutting tools is assembled and used together. Through unified management, efficiency can be improved and loss can be reduced.

In addition, a set of  tools is not just a material, but also requires the establishment of corresponding process standards, clarifying the processing procedures applicable to each set of  tool s, so as to accurately call, reasonably and effectively utilize defective cutting tools.

Does every  tool  need to undergo secondary defect management?

Not all cutting tools need to undergo secondary defect management.
