The article is focused on the construction problems of cutting tools designed for manufacturing components in high numbers. Analysis of the tool with low lifetime is provided with the use of simulation software to detect the causes of the tool failure. Parameters of the simulation are close to the real conditions of the tool in production. The results from the simulation indicate that the bending moment occurs in the tool because of forces which have opposite direction on different areas. On these basis technological adjustments are made. These adjustments are also analysed by using simulation software.
