Improving Your Bottom Line
If you are considering buying a new router or panel saw, looking for cutting tools that will provide a clean edge off your machinery and reduce secondary processing or are in need of a material that can solve design challenges for your customers – this is the issue for you! Our July/August issue is packed with new machinery, tooling and materials that will help your company improve its bottom line.

We kick off with a spotlight of the AWFS Fair. At AWFS visitors had the opportunity to view technology that will decrease production costs, while improving profits. Our Spotlight highlights the companies that exhibited machinery and tooling designed specifically for the plastics industry.

Next we look at the Hidden Dangers of Compressed Air. Compressed air is so commonly used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings that it is often incorrectly assumed to be safe. In fact, there are numerous hazards associated with the use of compressed air in particular from air pressure, airborne particulate matter, and noise.

In our “Safety Solutions”, Jack Podojil has some things for you to consider “Before You Purchase New Machinery.” Buying new equipment can be a really challenging procedure given all the different factors that should be taken into consideration. That’s why, it’s very important to weigh carefully the advantages and disadvantages. As you research different manufacturers you should look at the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for the type of machinery that you are deciding to purchase.
