Goal

A metal fabrication facility was interested in a drill with increased tool life while decreasing cycle time and part costs overall.

Strategy

The customer sought to improve tool life and reduce cycle time from their current HSS drill. SGS recommended the Series 142P Drill, which allowed removal of the unnecessary peck cycle during testing—streamlining the process and optimizing performance.

Result

The implementation of the Series 142P Drill resulted in a 65% reduction in the number of tools required. Machining cycle time decreased by 70%, and the cost per part was reduced by 68%. Overall, the customer achieved a total cost reduction of 85%, generating annual savings of more than $4,300.
