Users enter current abrasive consumption and cost data together with labor information, then model how productivity improvements could affect annual costs. Based on their assumptions, the calculator estimates abrasive cost savings, labor hours recovered and total annual savings. The results show why wheel price represents only part of the total cost of cutting and grinding.
“The price of a wheel is only part of what an operation spends on cutting and grinding. Labor is often the largest contributor to total cost per part, and the calculator helps users see what reducing that time could mean over a year,” said Nate Schmid, Director, Global Marketing at Weiler Abrasives.
The calculator supports Weiler’s Beyond Sharp approach, which combines high performance abrasives with application expertise. Users can share results with a Weiler expert, who can help determine whether savings could come from a product change or a process improvement. Through the Weiler Consumable Productivity (WCP) program, experts can evaluate applications, test improvements under real operating conditions and validate potential savings.
