In our field of saw sharpening, the above phrase (less is more) applies to numerous applications. One in particular is the sharpening of Panel Sizing sets.
Below is an example of what we have achieved.
Customer: Furniture manufacturer M.F.C (Melamine Faced Chipboard) material.
Application: Altendorf Panel Saw.
Blade Size: 300 x 96 teeth x 30 bore x 3.2 kerf Main Saw + 120 x 24 teeth x 20 bore x 3.1/4.3 Scorer.
Quantity of sets serviced: Average of 6 sets per week by another sharpening company @ £10.00 per set making a total cost of £60.00 per week
Having had dialogue with this potential customer, we believed we could offer a more cost effective solution for the sharpening of Panel Saws and so we proceeded to sharpen their existing sets for a period of 6 weeks.
They averaged 4 sets per week @ £12.00 per set making a total cost of £48.00 per week. So there you have it - more can be less. Furthermore, this particular client now needs fewer sets in the system resulting in further savings.
At Gerrymet, we endeavour to give our customers the best and most cost effective tooling solutions. This is achieved by the continued investment in people and technology.
