New machine in development(can I borrow a few hundred grand?)
 

Here's my version of a super-model driving a Ferrari on her way to pick me
up for a night on the town.
http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/brush_machine.jpg

5 axis, high speed staple-set brush machine that a company in the good 'ole
USA is getting ready to introduce into the market. 5 axis!!! I could
probably put tufts in an Escher construct!!! This will specialize in very
intricate short-run to 24-7 production. It will NOT be available to ANYBODY
outside the USA! This company has supplied me for generations with
equipment (that I severely *******ized) and they are my very good friends.

The best complement I EVER had was at a convention and there were a bunch of
people around this company's booth. The owner was explaining the virtues of
a new machine design to prospective buyers. As I approached the booth, he
said: "I'll just send one of these to Tom for six months and then we'll
know what it can REALLY do." I blushed...

There is a possible collaborations with one or two of my machine designs
that they would produce and market. When I retire, I have threatened to set
up a cot in their lab.

Cool.

Is it true that there is only one real manufacturer of this kind of
machine in the whole USofA?

Looking at that machine is like eating
an ice cream sundae.

Now if only that were a custom 5-axis ice cream sundae machine.

Imagine the number of people who'd be buying a second helping, just to
watch the machine work.

Actually, has anyone seen the ice cream machine in the basement of MIT's
Infinite Corridor?

When I was in the States I saw this machine in person. And I bought a
second helping!

True! One in Italy, two in Germany and one in Belgium. The European
machines are not robust and are persnickety and expensive to run. The
American company once dropped a machine 3 feet off a truck in South America,
they plugged it in and it ran...the guys WERE sweating bullets. Good ****
Maynard!!!

The Italian machines look like they were designed by German engineers on
LSD.

ALL Italian machines look like that.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

for torturing the cat." Gunner

Not ALL machines. Look at the Focke-Wulf 149. Designed in Italy by
Piaggio, licenced by Focke-Wulf and built by them as the principal primary
trainer for the German Air Force. Kinda the opposite. I want one.

I have to do maintenance at a high-end store (which shall remain
nameless - they have Lawyers) designed and built by Italians - they
built the fixtures in Italy, and sent the tradesmen over to do the
install work. I'm forced to re-engineer everything as I go - It looks
simply lovely, but they didn't plan for any maintenance access at ALL
to the stupid lamps.

I have to cut holes in walls and place access doors, install new
access catwalks and ladders inside the walls, pry open service doors
that were installed but screwed shut from the inside, split circuits
where supposedly 'removable' fluorescent light panels were strung
together with hardwired BX or SO Cord and made non-removable...

One side panel with 6) F21T5 strip fixtures needs 3" clearance to
swing over and slide out, and it's 1" away from a 16" structural
I-beam - I have no idea how I'm going to get it out short of major
destruction. I can shave the fireproofing compound off the beam and
probably get the clearance I need, but that creates other problems...

Love Em, but these are the people who think $8,000 to totally tear
apart the car just to change the clutch is perfectly normal.
