Innovation for Framers and Finish Carpenters Cuts Completion Time for These Crafts by 25%... and Makes Significant Contribution to Overall Job Quality

Tualatin, OR July 15, 2009 - New Bedford Tool & Gauge Co. introduces Jobsite Automation with SawGear.  With a slogan of ‘Don’t Measure, Don’t Mark – Just Cut’ New Bedford Tool & Gauge Co. gets right to the point.

“The insignificant steps of measuring and marking a board for cutting in the framing and finish carpentry process is a major source of wasted time on the job site”, according to Jonathan Williams of New Bedford Tool and Gauge Co. Mr. Williams went on to say that based on multiple industry studies, the average construction worker is only adding value for approximately 60% of the day.  “If you can make that worker just 15% more productive while he is actually adding value, you make significant improvements to overall productivity. SawGear does this”, continues Mr. Williams.

Contractors who have tried the equipment have been very positive about the cost savings and competitive advantages that they are gaining.  Whether you want to save time by eliminating steps, reduce mistakes and rework, or earn the reputation as a quality builder, SawGear has All The Right Moves for your craft and offers it all in one package.

SawGear, an automated length measuring device for Chop Saws, is portable, precise, easy to use, and designed for the rough and tumble world of the job site!

Get accurate cuts quickly and easily without wasting time on tedious processes. SawGear, with specialized features for the industry, makes it easy to get the job done fast. Just enter a dimension, slap the material against the rugged stop and cut the part - once. Reduce job time and add profit to your bottom line, while improving quality and making the next steps in the construction process easier and faster.

The process of using a tape measure and pencil to mark a board, then position it in a saw, and then make the cut, demands more than 50% of a carpenter’s time.  The first steps before actually turning on the saw and making the cut are by far the most time consuming. By eliminating the steps we all know as ‘measure twice; cut once’, SawGear users have reported labor savings of 15% to 30%. Contractors have noticed that the increased accuracy of their jobs, when using automated length measuring, smoothes the way down stream for subs such as HVAC, door and window installers, and all who benefit from the rough framing being dead on.

 “It’s a game changer!”, says Brandon Vaughn. “Not only did we cut our time for actual framing by 25%, our openings were dead-on making the whole job easier and faster.  Even our sub contractors finished ahead of schedule because no rework was necessary due to inaccuracies – the whole job finishes faster and the quality shows.”
