The tool room is an essential part of every factory where the repair and maintenance of the equipment and molds takes place. Sometimes, even new molds are manufactured onsite in the plant’s tool room. To that end, certain equipment is required. Precision lathes, surface grinders, hole poppers, EDM machines, and machining centers all help plants run smoothly and efficiently by reducing downtime. Having the right tool room equipment saves money and time by keeping the work in-house, rather than sending molds out to be repaired. Additionally, investing in the tool room demonstrates confidence in the employees’ abilities to maintain the factory’s molds and equipment, creating a shared ownership in the factory’s product quality and output.
