Abstract: In any manufacturing industry the presence of precision in the cutting tool life is justified, hence it is essential to study the amount of wear on the cutting tool. The number of times it can be reused for machining the components and the number of tools to be present at any given time to avoid the stoppage of automated line in the manufacturing industry. The objective of the thesis is to study the wear data on the various scrapped tools and increase the tool life which results in one of the major form of cost savings in a manufacturing industry. After analyzing the data collected during the study period the process of standardization of all the important parameters pertaining to a tool can be initiated. The consequence of increased tool life would be direct reduction in the tool purchase costs, effective utilization of tool room resources and further reduced quality related problems in the components.
