This piece of equipment typically will give me a productivity increase of a minimum of 25 to 50 percent more pieces on the floor in the same amount of time. In addition to productivity increases we get significantly longer tool life, on the order of 30 percent or higher. In productivity, we’re doubling our piece count.“
