Goal

This manufacturer was interested in increasing tool life, decreasing cycle time and decreasing tool costs.

Strategy

The customer was previously using a competitor’s drill and sought an alternative that could deliver equal or improved performance, extended tool life, and reduced overall cost. The recommended solution was the SGS 142P drill, featuring internal through-coolant to enhance chip evacuation, thermal control, and tool longevity.

Result

The implementation of the Series 142P resulted in a 33% reduction in the number of tools required. Machining cycle time was reduced by 20%, and total new tool costs were reduced by 59%. Overall, the customer achieved a total cost reduction of 29%, generating annual savings of more than $2,800.
