A steel beam grinding operation was facing high costs, frequent wheel change-outs, and worker fatigue due to excessive wheel loading. The customer had grown accustomed to these issues, considering them normal, and hadn’t recognized the need for improvement.

Martin identified the problem and conducted extensive testing on various grinding wheels to evaluate performance, durability, and ease of use. After comparing the results, the optimal wheel was selected, and Martin led a training program to ensure the customer could maximize the wheel’s benefits.

The new grinding wheel delivered significant improvements, reducing daily wheel usage from 120 to 24, which translated into hard cost savings of $94,500 annually. Additionally, the high-performance wheels did not load, decreasing worker fatigue, lowering injury risks, and enabling more work to be completed.
