The bar converter from Sandvik is developed to help design engineers, mechanical workshop operators etc. that currently machine holes in the center of solid stainless bar to estimate possible savings by switching to Sanmac® hollow bar.

This cost savings calculator is simple to use; just enter the raw data and the bar converter will show the estimated savings possible by switching from solid bar to hollow bar. The calculator is designed to handle metric as well as imperial sizes. The calculations can be made in three languages; English, German and Italian and also three currencies; EUR, USD and GBP respectively.

Our intention is that the bar converter will contribute to help you assess not only raw material savings, but also savings in machine time and tooling costs.
