Buying Machines for your Business Grimsmo and Saunders talk about the importance of Customer Service when it comes to buying a machine. “Just sell me machines and give me service” - Grimsmo Service is important because.... “Fun Fact: Everything mechanical in the world ceases to work at some point” - Saunders When it comes down to it, the quality of the machine is going to affect your relationship with that company. Don’t forget to consider a warranty! CALLING ALL LISTENERS! Saunders has a query. The shop in Ohio is getting HOT, and NYC CNC is thinking about getting a climate control system sooner than expected. Specifications for the project: Our shop is 50 x 80 ft. with 15 ft. ceilings NYC CNC doesn't think more insulation is necessary What are our listeners thoughts on using a mini-split? Link to the definition of a mini-split here. How about on an “Energy Recovery Ventilator”? We don’t want to “cool the country with our AC” (as Saunders’ mom would say) ALSO, Saunders would like to know if anyone has a CMX 1100, and what YOUR thoughts are on it. What is it comparable to? Contact Saunders here or at [email protected] Lapping up time Grimsmo can’t wait for the new lapping machine to come in, it’s going to make processes A LOT faster. Pro tip: Using UpWork to solve your problems also helps you get work done faster. Choose the right machine for YOU! The Johns discuss how to choose the right machine for your needs, even when there’s so many solid options out there. The two of them also talk about how to make processes on Grimsmo’s mill more efficient and reliable. IMTS is NEXT WEEK! And the Johns will be there running around, asking questions, and learning new things. They talk about what they want to see at IMTS.
