Choosing a saw blade supplier to support an industrial metal cutting operation requires looking beyond blade price and cost-per-cut. These are critical factors, but your supplier must do more to help drive ROI – helping tackle a range of ‘hard costs′ and ‘soft costs′ beyond the saw blade, itself.

Check out this exclusive case study, "LENOX Expertise Improves Efficiency at Aerodyne Alloys."

• What are the keys to building a true partnership with your saw blade supplier in an industrial metal cutting operation?
• What should customers expect from their saw blade suppliers?

LENOX believes a saw blade supplier should not only deliver compelling economics via its blade for the metal you are cutting, but the company also should serve as a partner to drive performance and improve the bottom line of your industrial metal cutting operation:

• On the shop floor, blade suppliers′ should not only help tune machine settings, but also should advise on approaches to machine maintenance, provide a technical knowledgebase around a range of cutting scenarios, improve workflows around metal cutting stations and help optimize material inputs, especially reducing scrap and defective parts.
• From a macro operations perspective, blade suppliers should provide strategic counsel to plant managers, support operator training, help reduce workplace safety risks, advise on overall process/workflow optimization and help drive improved customer delivery.
