HSS ANNULAR CUTTER VS CARBIDE ANNULAR CUTTER

Today we are going to talk about economics on HSS verses CARBIDE annular cutters used with a magnetic drill.

Let us start with approximate labor rate (Alberta) for a journey welder at $40.00/hr. We are drilling 240 holes in ½” mild steel.

A Champion annular XL100 1” x 1” HSS plain cutter runs on average $85.25 each.  The ChampionXL100 has 20% longer life then normal HSS annular cutters due to the coating. Speed for this cutter is approximately 350 rpm in mild steel. Average hole life of cutter before requiring sharpening is 40 holes. Sharpening cost is about $40.00.

A Champion annular CT150 1” x 1-3/8 Carbide cutter runs on average $118.85 each.   Speed for this cutter is approximately 610 rpm in mild steel. Average hole life of cutter before requiring sharpening* is 240 holes. (*if carbides are not damaged) Sharpening cost is about $80.00.

Now if you’re drilling ½” thickness mild steel material, the time for HSS cutter to go through material is approximately (depends on force applied) 30 to 40 seconds.  So let’s do 30 seconds per hole to simplify things. 240 x 30 seconds is 7200 seconds divide by 60 is 120 minutes which is 2 hours of cutting time. That is .67 per minute labor or $80.00, 6 cutters required at $85.25 each = $511.50 and then sharpening after the job.

If you’re drilling ½” thickness mild steel material, the time for Carbide cutter to go through material is approximately (depends on force applied) 10 to 20 seconds. So let’s do 20 seconds per hole to simplify things. 240 x 20 seconds is 4800 seconds divide by 60 is 80 minutes which is 1 hour and 20 minutes of cutting time. That is .67 per minute labor or $53.60, 1 cutter required at $118.85 then sharpening after the job.

Also these cutters are not just for Mag drills they can be used on stationary machines as well, ie: Drill Presses. For more information please check out Champion Cutting Tools web site at: http://championcuttingtool.com/

So which one would you chose?????

May 3, 2013 Phew Busy

Hi, Everyone.
We have been fairly busy as you can see by the large amount of flyer info that has hit the blog lately. Lots of new products. It's cool that the economy is just chugging along. However it is a real mixed bag out there. Machine shops, we find are the ones that are slow (some since last July). We know of a few shops that have closed for the next couple of months and plan to reopen in mid summer. It's a different story in the welding and fabrication side, which seems to be better off, as some shops have had an increase of activity after a slight down turn in beginning of the year. We hope that all of you are in good shape and hope to hear from you. The Bi-Metal clan.

Saving your hands

Do you or any of your employees handle sharp items?? Or do you have extensive hand injuries due to cuts and punctures?

Well at Bi-Metal Industrial Products Inc., we can help you, with anti-cut Black Nitrile Coated Gloves which are very cut resistant. Our band saw blades are very sharp, as we remove them from our blade boxes.  Our employees love them, as it has decreased their hand injuries extremely.

At one time we were using, good quality leather palmed gloves. There were times they would last only a day or two. Now with these anti-cut gloves we are well into the 4 to 6 week area. That’s great as we are saving money too in both aspects from band aid or first aid supplies to the leather glove pricing plus down time.

Feature Items

Today we introduce a new way of communicating products we represent to our blog. Probably most of our customers may have had seen this feature before when our sales people have gone around to visit our cliental. But we can’t see everyone so we thought that this is another medium.

We bring forward our carbide burs and sets from Champion Cutting Tools.

Burs are used in many construction shops, metal working shops, to remove welds, finish casting flaws, enlarge or dig out holes, etc. They are one of the most used tools.

Champion Carbide burs are the best of the best, in TIN coated or uncoated. The TIN coated burs are manufactured for the people who use a lot of these for extensive long periods of time. They stay cooler, sharper for a longer period of time due to the TIN coating. This creates less down time changing burs out, allowing faster completion of the job at hand.

Full Speed Ahead

On the first of November we added a new face to the Bi-Metal team. His name is Mark. His back ground is one out of the insurance industry. Interesting that a person would pick Bi-Metal Industrial Products over staying in the field they are from. It’s always good to have a new and fresh person around with a different perspective on things.

Then January came along and we added another fresh face to the lineup. His name is Frank. His back ground is the heavy industrial sales side and retail. Great now we have more experience added to our wonderful sales force.

You will meet these two dynamic people as they travel around the Alberta territory meeting with the present and new clientele.

If you need some expert advice on Bi-Metals, products give one of these gentlemen a call or if you wish you may contact our office to have them visit you.
