In the fast-paced and competitive world of subcontracting, having the right tools can make all the difference between success and failure. Will Cooper, Director and Co-Founder of Optimal Manufacturing Ltd, recently shared his experience with MSC Edge cutting tools, highlighting their transformative impact on his operations. This blog will delve deeper into the reasons why switching to MSC Edge has been a game changer for Optimal Manufacturing.
The Need for Dependable Tools
“You need a tool that you can depend upon to get through one material and then the next job - just use the same tool”
“The performance has been fantastic from the tool!” MSC Edge tools “can cut every material”, saving time and reducing the need to invest in multiple, material-specific tools.
With our “engineers on hand for support”, they’ve been able to dial in the correct feeds and speeds right from the start, minimising downtime and trial-and-error. And with reliable product availability, they trust us to keep their operations running smoothly.
Performance That Exceeds Expectations
Will emphasises that the performance of MSC Edge tools has been nothing short of fantastic. This performance is critical in a sector where even minor delays or inefficiencies can lead to significant losses. The ability of MSC Edge tools to cut through various materials with precision means that Optimal Manufacturing can take on a wider range of projects without worrying about the limitations of their tools.
Time and Cost Savings
The reduction in the need for multiple tools translates directly into time and cost savings. Before switching to MSC Edge, Optimal Manufacturing had to manage an inventory of various cutting tools tailored for specific materials. This not only required additional storage space but also increased the complexity of operations. With MSC Edge, they can consolidate their tool inventory, reducing the overhead costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, and storing multiple tools.
Reducing Downtime
Downtime can be a substantial cost for any manufacturing operation. When machines are not running, companies are losing money. Will’s experience with MSC Edge highlights how the tooling has helped reduce downtime significantly. Instead of spending hours figuring out the optimal settings for new tools, Optimal Manufacturing can rely on the expertise of MSC Edge engineers to get them operational quickly.
