\\nOf these three key points, reducing material waste and improving yield is often overlooked even though it is very simple to calculate. If you can maximize your raw stock, you maximize your profits.\\n\\nAs an example, here is a quick and simple visual representation of how you can use a programmable Kentucky Gauge length stop to reduce your overall material waste. A typical cut list may look like this:\\n<\/p>\n
![\\\"\\\"](\\\"http:\/\/www.hymark.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/kg-traditional-cut-list-1024x158.jpg\\\")
\\n\\nUsing the traditional method, the result is a staggering 30.625% in material waste over nine stock pieces. That’s nearly one third of your stock wasted!\\n\\n \\n\\nNow let\u2019s look at how Kentucky Gauge can drastically reduce that material waste.<\/strong>\\n\\nUsing the Kentucky Gauge programmable controllers, you can quickly and accurately switch between cut lengths in seconds, thus, you can optimize the job layout to maximize your material yield. Using the same cut list with our programmable length stops, the job layout would look like this:\\n\\n![\\\"\\\"](\\\"http:\/\/www.hymark.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/kg-cut-list-1024x126.jpg\\\")
\\n\\nThat\u2019s only 1.89% material waste!<\/strong> Not only is the material waste reduced, but the overall stock needed to complete the job is reduced. The traditional method required 9 stock pieces and the optimized cut list with Kentucky Gauge required only 7 stock pieces. You can have 100% ROI within months<\/strong>.\\n\\nImmediate benefits of adding a Kentucky Gauge programmable length stop to your sawing\/cutting process:\\n<\/p>\n
