Why DWM tools last longer?

As I have read from a few books, Mauser's toolset came from DWM. This toolset made around 2 million (?) Lugers. Erfurt toolset was transferred to Simson, then to HK to guide making new tools because the old Erfurt tool was too old/worn to be used. Simson production number is super low, even plus Erfurt, the number of guns made by this toolset is way lower than the DWM toolset.

Why DWM toolset ran forever, without facing the same worn problem?
