Determining fixture ROI
Bob Warfield of The CNCCookbook addresses an old saying in the machine shop world that suggests real money is made from having great fixturing. Is that really true? Does every job benefit from fancy fixturing? As good as it often is, great fixturing may not always be the right answer.
In the 21st episode of the CNC Chef video series, Warfield uses a fixture ROI calculator developed by CNCCookbook to determine whether the amount of money saved by using a fixture will exceed the cost of building the fixture.
Deep dive into fixture plates
In the 18th episode of Cutting Tool Engineering's CNC Chef video series, Bob Warfield of the CNCCookbook delves into setup time savings and other benefits of using fixture plates.
"Fixture Plates can not only save you time," Warfield explains in the video, "they can help you work around the size limitations of your machine’s travel. They’re an excellent addition to any CNC milling machine."
