Background

To better understand the real-world impact of our welding and fixturing tables, we asked a group of Ozcut Abrasives customers—from bull bar manufacturers in Queensland to engineering firms in Western Australia—to share their experiences.

Each business had different setups and project types, but they shared a common challenge: keeping fabrication accurate, efficient, and repeatable under tight deadlines.

 

Faster, Smoother, and More Accurate: The Results

When asked “How much faster do you think projects are completed using the fixture table compared to your old method?”, customers reported an average improvement of 33.75%.

For many, that time saving meant shorter lead times, faster turnover, and significantly better consistency across projects.

Shops that once spent hours setting up complex assemblies now complete those same jobs in nearly a third less time.

One engineering firm summed it up:
“One of the best investments we have made, wish we purchased one sooner! Flat, square, and accurate just makes life easier.”

This 33.75% productivity boost now forms the foundation of Ozcut Abrasives’ ROI calculator, giving future customers a measurable sense of the efficiency gains possible with a properly fixtured system.

Biggest Challenges Before Ozcut Abrasives

Across all respondents, four main frustrations consistently came up before upgrading to an Ozcut Abrasives welding table.

Using ranked averages across the responses, the ⚠️ Top Challenges were:

  1. Long setup times – The most common pain point. Fabricators struggled with inconsistent jigs and time-consuming setups, especially when switching between jobs.

  2. Rework and wasted labour – Shops reported frequent rework caused by misalignment or distortion.

  3. Difficulty with repeat jobs – Many found it hard to replicate setups accurately, leading to quality variations.

  4. Inconsistent accuracy and quality – Without a precision table, achieving flatness and repeatability was difficult, especially on large builds.

Improvements with the Biggest Impact

When asked which improvements had the greatest effect after switching to an Ozcut Abrasives welding table, customers consistently pointed to gains in precision, ease of use, and team satisfaction.

Based on ranked importance, the ✅ Top Five Benefits were:

  1. Better accuracy and fit-up – The precision-machined surfaces and modular fixtures allowed faster alignment and cleaner welds.
  2. Easier repeat jobs – Repeatability became effortless, saving hours on multi-part projects.
  3. Consistent quality across projects – Every job now comes out square, flat, and repeatable.
  4. Reduced errors and human factors – The fixturing system eliminates guesswork and minimises costly mistakes.
  5. Happier team and less stress – Several respondents said their workshops now run smoother, with fewer frustrations and greater pride in finished work.

One customer noted:
“My jobs have definitely become a lot easier using the jig table, high quality and quick response from the emails”

Return on Investment

Most respondents said their Ozcut Abrasives welding table began paying for itself in months. Several reported ROI within three months, while others noted ongoing payoff through reduced rework and higher throughput.

Even those still early in ownership agreed on one point:
It’s an investment that keeps delivering long after the first job.
