Building yachts requires a great deal of craftsmanship. It comes as no surprise then, that a leading shipbuilder in steel motor yachts decided to try out Beveltools in their manufactury of yachts ranging from 26 to 50 feet (8 to 15 meters). These yacht-builders have decades of experience in designing and finishes its yachts in-house. Each vessel meets the highest standards of quality by utilizing the best materials and techniques.
In yacht-building, precision in finishing is essential. A production leader at the shipyard explains: "Rounding sharp edges on the hull material is crucial to ensure that the coating and paint adhere properly. This enhances durability and it looks nice to the end user. Beveltools allows us to achieve a smooth, rounded finish that is does exactly that."
The shipbuilder's hull production team relies on Beveltools almost daily. "Previously, we would weld a tube to the top edge to create a rounding, followed by deburring to remove imperfections—an extremely time-consuming process. I sought out a more efficient method to round the steel edges without needing additional deburring or polishing, which led us to Beveltools," says the production leader.
The EBA 3.0 machine paired with Beveltools' high quality bevel heads has proven to be the perfect solution. "The machine is lightweight, easy to handle, and portable. The R3 and R4 bevel heads we use have a long service life and are simple to replace when needed. Compared to alternatives, Beveltools gives us a fast and consistent way of rounding edges," they conclude.
