Cut Costs. Extend Tool Life. Maximize CNC Throughput.

Helping CNC shops unlock the full value of TMAC tool monitoring.

1. What We Do

  • Reduce tool breakage and downtime

  • Extend carbide insert life

  • Shorten cycle times without sacrificing quality

  • Train operators with step-by-step SOPs

2. Why It Matters

Most shops invest in TMAC but never see full ROI. Settings are left at defaults, operators aren’t trained, and results fall short. Cascade Precision Tuning makes sure your investment pays off.

3. Case Study

Case Study: Twin Facemills

  • Problem: Inconsistent gating & hardness caused tool wear/downtime

  • Solution: Optimized TMAC settings, increased feedrate 10%, RPM 20%, and relearned toolpaths

  • Result: Reduced cycle time & tool costs while maintaining reliability

4. About Cascade Precision Tuning

Cascade Precision Tuning was founded by Richard Kern, a CNC machinist and department lead with over 9 years of hands-on experience in titanium machining and TMAC optimization.

Richard’s work has:

  • Increased throughput and reduced cycle time with TMAC

  • Delivered measurable cost savings through tool testing

  • Built repeatable SOPs that operators actually use
