Tool life refers to the duration or amount of machining a tool can perform before it wears out and must be replaced or resharpened. It is an important parameter for assessing the efficiency and reliability of a manufacturing process.
Tool life depends on cutting conditions, tool material, coating, workpiece material, and external factors such as the stability of the setup. It is often determined based on defined wear criteria (e.g., maximum allowable wear land width ).
