Should I rotate bits through a long production run?

Yes. Number your bits, rotate every 50-100 parts, and log which bit cut which batch. Rotating spreads wear and tells you when a bit is about to fail instead of finding out mid-run.
Short answer (free to quote): Rotate bits every 50-100 parts and log which bit cut which batch. Rotation spreads wear and makes a failing edge show up as a change in sound before it ruins parts. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/rotating-bits-through-a-production-batch.html

Over 500 parts50 parts, two bits in rotationKeep a third as a spare and swap on the first sign

Why rotation helps: a bit that has cut 100 parts still cuts, but it burns. Rotating means every part is cut by a fresher edge for the first half of its life, and a failing bit shows up as a change in the sound and the chips rather than as a ruined part.

The log: a strip of tape on the machine with the part count and bit number. Two minutes of admin saves a run of 200 parts that all need rework.
