  1. André Lagacé MachineInc.Benefits of Using The Grindomatic V12 Automatic Chain Sharpener Canadian Woodland Forum, 90th Annual General Meeting April 1.2, 2009

  2. SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY. • Sharpening time: 69 drive links chains in 4 min. (15 chains/hr) vs 10 min./chain with a manual machine (6 chains/hr) • Savings: 6 minutes/chain x 40 chains/week x 40 weeks/year = 160 hours saved! • If you hire one person @ $15/hr hours x 160 hrs =$2,400 saved!

  3. MORE TIME SAVINGS • Badly damaged chains: with manual machine it is necessary to sharpen 2 or 3 times • Grindomatic V12: takes up to 4 mm at a time without burning the tooth • When harvesting: chains and bars last longer, less time wasted installing new chains and bars — less down time, more productive time.

  4. SAVE CHAINS • Chain will stay in the bar when sawing due to exact shape of teeth: same length, same angle • Can now use chains twice as long as before. Savings in one year: $14 x 200 = $2,800

  5. SAVE CHAINS • Can count on the consistent sharpness of every chain, every time • Chains sharpened with Grindomatic V12 cut even better than a new chain

  6. SAVE SAWBARS • The Chain is perfectly aligned in the bar groove, drive links do not wear out the bar by pulling on one side. (cutters have same length and same angles) • The bar goes faster through wood, so lubrication oil can last the full cut, including in larger diameter timber • Savings: 1/3 of 30 bars/year = $500.00

  7. SAVE SAW MOTORS • Improved cutting reduces saw motor stress • After using Grindomatic V12 for 2 years: “I did not have to change a saw motor (F11-10 $1,600 and F11-19 $2,200) compared to previously, on average, changing one per year.” • Savings average: $1,900

  8. $AVE MONEY • In salary: $2,400/year • Bars: $500/year • Chains: $2,800/year • Saw motors: 50% x 2 motors $1,900/year ------------------------------------------------ • Total Savings: Up to $7,600/year

  9. PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT • Better utilization rate on the harvester, the highest “value” machine in your company • 40 chain changes/week x 5 min/change = 3.33 hours out of 192 hours (2 harvesters) • Equivalent to 1.7% better harvester utilization rate

  10. HELP THE ENVIRONMENT • Make better use of each chain and bar while reducing your impact on the environment • Reduce fuel consumption • Reduce waste of fibre: faster cut log means less split ends and better quality logs, especially in larger diameters
