an entire day at the quarry

“To the team at Miles Supply,testimonial for Boart & Wire quarry wire and Miles Supply's expertise

We were having several issues with our past brand of quarry wire in one of our limestone quarries, so I called Jerry Carrier with Miles supply for some assistance. We ordered some wire from him for testing, and he also offered his assistance in the field for advice/suggestions.
When we received the [Boart & Wire*] wire, Jerry came out and spent an entire day with the quarry supervisor offering his years of expertise and knowledge. This wire reduced our cutting times by almost half and it appears so far that we should see about 30%-40% longer life out of this wire versus the previous brand.

This experience, along with many others over the years, is why we continue to use Jerry Carrier and the entire team at Miles Supply for many of our stone production needs.

Thank you all,
John”

—Here’s Jerry’s comments:

JerryI was at the Earthworks MO quarry the last couple days running our DF1234 *B&W QUARRY WIRE GJO178 11.5MM 40BPM 60M.
We ran the full loop 60-meter pull; we were able to bring it up to 36m/s on the speed and were able to remove 2 10 meter pulls in about 6 hours. This is in their hardest limestone (note this limestone is extremely close to being classified as marble.) The beads held up an excellent shape and diamonds were looking wonderful barely any pull out that were noticeable. We probably could have pushed it more as the amps were pretty consistent but pegging at 90-95 amps. Greg, the operator, was extremely impressed he has been in the quarry for 15 years.
Now compare this to the [former brand] wire they have been running for years; they were only getting (1) 10 meter pull in 7-8 hours and Greg said here lately it was getting even slower the last several months.

We’re glad we could help! At Miles Supply, our success comes from helping our customers thrive. Our experienced staff brings valuable knowledge and expertise to the products we offer, ensuring you receive quality solutions and dependable support.
