Attention Fabricators: The Scout Machine is the Game-Changer You’ve Been Waiting For
In the world of steel fabrication, time is money, and precision is king. At Lone Star Cutting Solutions, we understand the demands you face, and we’re here to tell you that the Scout machine is the answer to your production challenges. Just ask the pros who are using it to push their businesses to the next level.
Highland Tank of New York: Speed, Efficiency, and Reliability
Marty Tromblee, a seasoned professional at Highland Tank of New York, knows what it takes to get the job done right. His team purchased the Scout 3 machine with the Max Pro 200 five years ago, and it’s been a total game-changer ever since. Before the Scout, they were working with an outdated 40-year-old table inherited from a sister company. Today, the Scout is cutting miscellaneous parts that go into the tanks they produce—fast, smooth, and without the mess.
“It’s more cost-effective when it comes to consumable parts, and we haven’t had a single issue with it. The machine is much faster and runs smoother, with far less slag on the back of the steel. We’ve reached out to Lone Star a few times for tech support, and they’ve always been there when we needed them,” Marty shared. “It’s a good machine. It’s a good company. They stand by their products. It’s well worth it.”
Berkshire Bridge & Iron: Precision That Pays Off
Over at Berkshire Bridge & Iron in Dalton, MA, Dennis Fusini and his team have been putting their Hi-Def Scout to work—and the results speak for themselves. Specializing in structural steel fabrication for buildings, stairs, handrails, and more, Berkshire Bridge & Iron has been a staple in the industry for over 60 years. When they brought the Scout into their operation four years ago, they saw an immediate boost in productivity.
“We cut our parts with minimal waste—less than 5% now, compared to 20% before. This thing is unbelievable!” Fusini said. “We don’t have to outsource parts anymore; we make everything we need in-house, cutting down on downtime significantly. And Lone Star’s backup is the best in the business—if we need something, they send it right away, no questions asked.”
The Scout’s efficiency has been a major time-saver for Berkshire Bridge & Iron. In one instance, they cut 1,299 connection plates in just nine hours—a task that would have taken them around 80 hours to complete by hand. Fusini added that the machine is user-friendly as well, stating, “Any young guy who can run a computer or a cell phone can run the machine.”
“The Scout revolutionizes fabrication,” Fusini added. “Any fabricator who doesn’t have this machine is crazy.”
