Wow! I had no idea that these were so labor-intensive. Gives me a new appreciation for what small businesses across the country must do to make the bottom line and pay people. George, thanks for posting this, and thanks for doing what you have done to keep these guys in business.

George, thanks for posting this, and thanks for doing what you have done to keep these guys in business. And if you saw the power to run the hydraulic pumps alone you'd be shocked. Ours is slightly bigger, and is 480Volt at 500 amps. One day running that is like enough power for a month in a home. I can't imagine how long it took to mill those dies out. That had to be a month worth of programming and cutting alone. Very nice work |

That had to be a month worth of programming and cutting alone. Very nice work I agree. I am amazed that these could be produced and sold at the price they are going for, when you consider the cost of tooling and the man-hours associated with doing a run of 100. I can't see how, but I hope these guys are making some money on this project. It would be great if we could throw some other work to them. Maybe they can buy SSI?!?!?!? George, can you arange a meeting? |
