Online calculator reveals potential savings

An online calculator can reveal the productivity benefits and fast payback possible with Darex drill and cutting tool resharpeners.

Simply by answering a short series of questions (www.darex.com) regarding company activities and tool usage, visitors to the site will receive recommendations on the most appropriate Darex sharpener for their operations, along with an accurate payback period based on the information supplied.

“People may be surprised how quickly a Darex unit will achieve a 100 per cent return on investment,” says Kitagawa’s sales director, Colin Birch. “The calculator doesn’t just take into account the obvious costs of cutting tool replacement. It recognises the differences between users who simply replace dull or worn out tools with new ones and those who employ external regrinding services; weighing these factors against the elimination of purchasing, administration and inventory costs that will be achieved using a Darex sharpener.

“The results can be a real eye-opener, especially as it is often the most experienced – and therefore most costly – operators in the workshop who may be asked to re-sharpen ‘emergency’ drills by hand.”
