KBC’s hot tips to save on cutting tools, indexable tooling, work holding, abrasives, measuring equipment, toolroom accessories, hand tools, air tools, machinery

STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN, USA, July 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — We have all felt the pinch of increased prices at check out at the grocery store, gas pump, or when buying supplies for the house. Those increases, combined with supply chain issues, increases in shipping container fees, raw material shortages, are hitting the industrial manufacturing sector hard. Still, there are ways to diminish costs and increase purchasing power for industrial manufacturers and maintenance professionals keeping North America working and producing. Here are 5 top tips to stretch tooling budgets:

1. Buy in volume. Many industrial distributors offer discounts for volume purchases. KBC offers package quantity discounts from as low as 6 or 12 pieces of drills, taps, and fasteners. Usages for common items can be reviewed for 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months in order to place larger orders ensuring stock levels and guaranteed pricing.

2. House brands offer high value at lower costs. Industrial products often come in good, better, best options. These options may be quality imports, no name North American made goods, or products by world class manufacturers. Industrial house brands, like Brand KBC from KBC Tools & Machinery, are private labelled products that are high volume movers bought in larger quantities by the distributor to sell at an attractive price point. Just like at the grocery store, the house brand crackers are often made by the name brand manufacturer in fancy packaging sitting on the shelf just a few inches away. Out of the package these crackers taste the same, look the same, but cost a whole lot less. Check out KBC Tools & Machinery’s new online only flyer highlighting top Brand KBC items. Switch to house brands to save.

3. Time and gas are money. Every manufacturer has a load rate for each machine when it sits idle plus the cost of its machinists, CNC operators, and tool and die makers. Rather than buy once a tool is broken and suffer high load rates with no manufacturing, it is more cost effective to buy an extra or two for more common tooling items. Kits of cutting tools and tools allow you to have the tools you might need vs the tools you know you need, often saving you time and money when the situation arises. Ordering ahead and ordering online for delivery saves time, gas, and wear and tear on vehicles and keeps people at work and working.

4. Study the sales flyers of industrial distributors. Items on sale, top picks, special buys, end of lines, one of a kinds are all discounted and might just be the key to the budget going further. KBC has a sales flyer running till September 30, 2022 full of special buys, end of lines, and new product introductions from their 12 industrial categories: cutting tools, indexable tooling, fluids, work holding, abrasives, measuring & inspection equipment, toolroom accessories, hand tools, shop supplies, power & air tools, machinery, and clearance/end of lines. ything in 64th’s of an inch doesn’t mean that is the best way to manufacture the piece. If plans are designed using more common tooling the cost of tools goes down and the availability of those products goes up. There are many ways to manufacture the same item, and there are many ways to manufacture it a lower cost with preplanning.

5. Look for items to save time, not just money. Tool organization products make finding what you need quicker and easier, plus they protect your tools while being stored. Digital measuring equipment with absolute encoders allow you to zero out measurements so that you can easily see if you are over and under tolerance specifications which make measurements quick and easy. Power feeds installed on lathes and mills make repetitive machining quick and easy and save on the wear and tear of machinists.
