Inputs
Switch between parts-based or hours-based tool life/usage.
70% of new-tool life per regrind
Method: Baseline monthly cost = (usage ÷ new-tool life) × new-tool cost. Program life per tool = new life × (1 + regrinds × reground-life-%). Program monthly cost = (new tools × new-tool cost) + (regrinds × (regrind labor + optional coating)).
