Are you losing $ by outsourcing face frames? Do you even know if you are? Many of our customers use the CSI 1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter and boost their profits by keeping face frame production in-house. Shops tend to outsource face frame production to cut down on labor costs. When outsourcing, however, sometimes those cost savings aren’t really there so periodically evaluating the costs is needed. Also, whenever you outsource, you risk sacrificing quality, along with an increased reliance on vendors’ manufacturing and delivery schedules. We at Castle invite you to do the math on using our CSI 1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter to produce your face frames in-house. Customer time tests show a minimum of 40% savings in assembly labor. CSI’s integration is straightforward and virtually anyone can effectively operate it. Face frames with pocket joints are strong – joints are flush and assembly is simple. If you’re outsourcing face frame production, it might be time to re-evaluate what you’re actually winning – and losing - by doing so.
