Abstract
A tool management method, when performing machining using a Numerical Control (NC) program, searches for cutting tool status information obtained as a result of having performed a machining simulation based on tool information, cutting condition information and the NC program, and on the other hand, actually measures tool wear at the time of actual cutting, estimates the tool wear from each of the items of information described above and judges permission to use a tool.
