Features of metal saw blade
Unlike ordinary consumables, metal saw blade can be resharpening.
This is where it differs from thinking of it as a normal consumable item.
In other words, to calculate running costs, you need to add up the cost of a new metal saw blade and the cost of resharpening.
Points to note when calculating the running costs of metal saw blade
If you have purchased metal saw blade, you have probably thought at least once about the running costs.
Considering the characteristics of metal saw blade, you might think that it would be cheaper to buy the cheapest metal saw blade and ask the cheapest sharpening company to do it for you.
However, since metal saw blade is saw blade used to cutting metal, it is necessary to estimate how many pieces it can cut in one go, and how many pieces it can cut in total after sharpening one new blade and 20 times.
Therefore, if you introduce a low-cost metal saw blade, there is a possibility that your running costs will skyrocket.
Calculation formula for the running costs of metal saw blade
Suppose you have a saw blade that can cut 1,000 pieces at a time with a saw blade that costs 10,000 yen.
The cost of one polishing of the saw blade is 3,000 yen.
A total of 20 times resharpening Then, including the number of times the first new blade was used, a total of 21 times
The formula is 10,000 yen (new blade) + 3,000 yen ×20 times = 70,000 yen.
It is calculated that 1,000 × 21 times can cutting a total of 21,000 bottles.
In other words, you can cutting 21,000 bottles for 70,000 yen. (Excluding electricity, equipment, labor, etc.)
Let's say there is a high-performance saw blade that costs 30,000 yen but can cut 5,000 pieces.
Generally, the sharpening cost is the same for any saw blade, so the sharpening cost for one sharpening is 3,000 yen.
Let's say it can be resharpening the same 20 times.
The cost is 30,000 yen (new blade) + 3,000 yen x 20 times = 90,000 yen.
This means that 5,000 pieces x 21 cutting.
105,000 pieces can be cutting for 90,000 yen (Electricity costs, equipment costs, labor costs, etc. are excluded.)
Compare them in a table for easy understanding.
Comparison of low-cost metal saw blade and high-performance metal saw blade
new blade price | resharpening cost | Number of cutting | total cost | Number cutting | per piece | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low-cost metal saw blade | 10,000 yen | 3,000 yen | 21 times | 70,000 yen | 21,000 pieces | 3.3 yen |
High-performance metal saw blade | 30,000 yen | 3000 yen | 21 times | 90,000 yen | 105,000 pieces | 0.9 yen |
In other words, the table shows that switching to a high-performance metal saw blade will save you money. You can get a more concrete idea of how you can reduce expenses.
*The above calculations are based on successful calculations.
*The high performance of high-performance metal saw blade also means that costs can be reduced to the minimum.

Total cost comparison
Based on the above calculation, let's assume that we produce 1 million bottles per year.
Calculate what the total cost will be.
If you cut 1 million pieces with a low-cost metal saw blade, the total cost is
1 million ÷ 21,000 bottles × 70,000 yen = Approximately 3.33 million yen
If you were to cut 1 million pieces using a high-performance metal saw blade, the total cost would be:
1 million ÷ 105,000 bottles × 90,000 yen = Approximately 860,000 yen
The difference will be 2.47 million yen.
If you can reduce this amount, you can achieve significant cost cuts.
In addition to this cost, if a high-performance metal saw blade can cutting faster and save time, it is likely that the machine's operating time, the time required to replace the saw blade, labor costs, electricity costs, and other associated costs can also be reduced.
* cutting performance ratio is calculated based on our company's data, but may vary depending on the user's situation (saw blade or machine used), etc.
summary
We explained the annual cost reduction of metal saw blade using our calculation formula.
- metal saw blade running costs
- Cost comparison between low-metal saw blade and high-performance metal saw blade
- Total cost of metal saw blade
As can be seen from the calculations, the most important thing about metal saw blade is cutting performance (cost per cut), so it is important to consider not just the price of a new blade but also the total cost including the number of cutting.
