Looking for cost savings and productivity improvements? Our cost savings calculator is aimed at procurement professionals, plant managers, engineers and machinists. The goal: To achieve greater output and help reduce overall spending within manufacturing applications and processes.

This interactive tool helps metalworking professionals control and adjust machine variables in turning, solid milling, tapping, grinding, sawing, coolant and indexable milling and drilling.

Visitors can input current parameters and weigh them against future productivity parameters.

Boost the bottom line by improving part making. Use the calculator to help justify process improvements, such as cycle time and OEE. This calculator can also help machinists and process engineers compare the different output value of tools under evaluation—including options that may boost metal removal rates, reduce setup times, extend tool life or mill difficult materials such as titanium or composites.
