Consider the following two cases when you order tooling for your new $150,000
moulder when machining an MDF core with a birds eye maple veneer.
|
|
Case 1: Company A orders from Price is Right Tooling Co. |
|
|
Monday
8:00 a.m.: Company A faxes a request for a brazed cutterhead.
3:00 p.m.: Price is Right Tooling replies with quote on a catalog item
2 weeks later: Company A receives tool but discovers that a LH rotation was incorrectly specified
4 days later: Company A finally receives the tool it needed
18 days,
1 hr later: After running 30 reject pieces, Company A’s $150,000 machine is finally producing sellable
parts
|
|
|
|
Case 2: Company B orders from DeHart Tooling Components, Inc. |
|
|
Monday
8:00 a.m.: Company B faxes a drawing and information on their machine/profile
8:30 a.m.: DeHart Tooling faxes a detailed solution using custom insert tooling
9:00 a.m.: Company B faxes a signed purchase order
48 hours later: DeHart Tooling ships order via overnight express
Thursday
9:00 a.m.: Company B receives tool specifically engineered for their application: 10° shear with LH rotation,
5° hook angle, etc.
9:45 a.m.: Company B’s $150,000 machine is producing quality parts with no reject pieces

Conclusion:
The $50.00 that Company A saved in tool purchase price pales in comparison to the money lost due
to machine downtime! A $150,000 machine (e.g. moulder) can cost your company $450 per day just
to operate .
Taking this scenario one step further, Company A is also spending more money due to:
 |
Increased tool maintenance and grinding costs |
|
|
Increased machine set-up time |
|
|
Decreased machine through-put due to inferior tool design |
|
|
More reject/set-up pieces |
True Cost Equation
DeHart Tooling Components saves you money by providing a tooling system that is on time,
the first time, and custom engineered for your application.
