Introduction to Innovation at BP Fabrication
Located in St. Louis, Missouri, BP Fabrication has evolved from its roots in the motorsports industry to serve crucial roles in various government sectors. Under the leadership of Brad Loyet, the job shop is renowned for its ability to handle complex and demanding manufacturing tasks.
The Challenge: Drilling 20,000 Holes with Precision
Faced with the task of drilling 20,000 holes for a critical part, the team at BP Fabrication needed a solution that would ensure rapid completion without compromising on quality, despite lacking through spindle coolant in their machines. The solution came from Fullerton's AlumaDrill, recommended by their trusted tooling advisor.
Choosing the AlumaDrill: Confidence in Precision and Durability
The local expertise of Andy Mueller from Missouri Tool, Brad's reliable tooling supplier, came into play when he suggested using Fullerton's AlumaDrill. Trusting Andy's guidance, Brad initially purchased two AlumaDrills to ensure continuity. To his surprise, after they completed the entire job, the first drill was still in pristine condition and they didn't even need to use the second drill.
This decision was pivotal, not just for its immediate benefits but also for setting a new standard for the shop's capability. The AlumaDrill not only met the challenges but also allowed BP Fabrication to deliver the part early, maintaining top-notch quality effortlessly.
Expert Support Makes the Difference
Reflecting on the experience, Brad highlighted the value of strong partnerships, saying "When a job came through our door here at BP Fabrication that needed us to drill 20,000 holes, our first choice was the Fullerton AlumaDrill. We were fortunate to have a fantastic relationship not only with our tooling supplier but also with the representative from Fullerton. They provided everything we needed to complete the job on time and to specifications."
