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.
