FREUD “Saw Blades cuts downtime” at Office Furniture Manufacturer, OFS, and here's how:

LONG LIFE:
“We first ran the Freud blade on the [Selco] twin pusher for two 24 hour periods and it cut TFM the whole time flawlessly - I found my blade!” said Eckert

“It was amazing; we went (to) one blade cutting 2 days (4 shifts) compared to 16 blade changes with our old brand.” (Before Freud)

LESS NOISE:

“Operators noticed how quiet the blades are, compared to their predecessors.  Relief cuts in the blade create less vibration, and a strong tension ring keeps the blade real quiet.” said Eckert

“Our noise level went from 110 decibels to 86 decibels.” 

FASTER CUTTING – MORE PARTS:

”We had to reduce our feed rates (before Freud by 70%)

“We’re now running at full speed and cutting more material, at a faster rate.” (With Freud)
MORE PRODUCTION:

“Switching to Freud Silver Ice has added 10 hours per week in production time normally lost to blade changeovers.”

“We’ve increased our output quite a bit since adding the Freud blades.”

“We cut over 550,000 square feet of material in a month, we’ve increased output quite a bit since adding the Freud blades and as the company grows we will be able to keep up with demand”.
