How can such a simple tool make you money?
Like everyone else fabricating solid surface material you cut scrap wood into blocks and hot melt them to the deck for locating pieces during glue-up. They only take a minute to cut and use, they’re disposable, and serve the purpose. So what’s the big deal? While they save time and frustration during glue-up take a look at how much time you really spend using them: gathering data from several fabricators for this simple comparison we learned that on an average residential top you actually use 30 to 50 locating blocks. We’ll use 40 blocks for this comparison.

	Time required for respective operations
Operation	1 wood block	40 wood blocks	1 Betterley RELOC Block	40 Betterley RELOC Blocks
Cutting Blocks	7 sec	4 min 40 sec	0	0
Glueing Blocks	6 sec	4 min	6 sec	4 min
Removing Blocks	25 sec	16 min 40 sec	5 min	3 min 20 sec
Total Time	38 sec	25 min 20 sec	11 sec	7 min 20 sec

Based on these findings, on an average residential top you can save 18 minutes of labour. Using a labour rate of £35.00/hr, the Betterley RELOC blocks will put an additional £10.00 in your pocket per countertop. How many tops do you fabricate a year?
