How long can the service life of the handle be?

As the core component of the tool, the tool handle is a relatively fixed part, but also the core component of the tool, it is mainly responsible for transmitting power, supporting the blade, stabilizing the cutting process of the tool, is an indispensable part of the tool. The service life of the tool holder affects the use effect and cutting cost of the tool, therefore, many people are very concerned about this service life.

First of all, we need to understand that the service life of the handle is affected by many factors. Below, I will explain these factors in five aspects:

1. Material quality

As a part of the transfer of power, the material of the handle directly affects its service life, usually the materials of the manufacturing of the handle are high-speed steel, carbide, ceramics, PVD coating, CVD coating and so on. These materials have different physical and chemical properties, commonly used is high-speed steel and carbide, they wear resistance and crack resistance is better, however, coated materials than uncoated materials will also have a longer service life.

2. Processing technology

The manufacturing process of the tool handle also affects its service life, for example, during the processing, if the temperature is too high or the tool handle excessively vibrates, it is easy to cause cracks on the tool handle surface, thereby reducing its service life.

3. Conditions of use

The environmental factors in the use of the tool will also affect the service life of the tool handle, such as the hardness of the processing material, the processing speed and the lubrication method. If the hardness is too high, it is easy to cause the deformation or break of the tool handle, if the processing speed is too high, it will cause the tool handle surface to overheat, thereby reducing its service life. At the same time, the incorrect use of lubricant is easy to lead to premature aging of the tool handle.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the service life of the tool handle, such as timely cleaning of the cutting fluid on the tool handle and blade, checking the wear on the tool handle, and replacing the worn part in time.

5. Design and size

The structural design and size of the handle are also factors that affect its service life. Reasonable design and size can make the cutting force, cutting temperature and machining vibration more easily controlled, reduce the tool handle surface wear, thereby extending its service life.

These factors will affect the service life of the handle, but if the reasonable use and maintenance, the service life of the handle can reach hundreds of hours to thousands of hours. Of course, if the processing conditions and the use of the tool environment change greatly, the service life of the tool handle will also be shortened. Through the correct use and maintenance, the service life of the tool holder can be improved, and then the cutting cost can be reduced and the processing efficiency can be improved, which has important practical significance for processing enterprises.
