Welding vs. Corner Forming: Cost per Corner and the Break-Even Point
When Does Investing in a Corner-Forming Machine Pay Off?
A welded corner costs around €2.30, including welding labor, consumables, grinding, and rework. Forming reduces the variable cost to roughly €0.21 per corner, but adds a fixed machine cost. With these figures, the break-even point is approximately 480 corners per month, or 120 cabinets. Above that volume, forming becomes more economical; below it, welding may still cost less.
