Some of these are for stock and some are spare heads... But this is what
has been keeping us busy... All the non-adjustable heads shown were custom engineered for the customer's pattern. Some have 1:1.X or higher ratios. Some have special non-ER style collet spindles. Just about all of them were sold with our pneumatically stroked drills. Let's just say the UPS guy doesn't like me right now. http://gang-drill.blogspot.com/ Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 (908) 542-0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R |

I know your head has been in marketing as of late so, tell how this
customer found you. Actually this customer is a repeat customer. Purchased a large number of heads about 1.5 years ago and apparently likes them. Came back to us and asked us for this large order to mount to Hypneumat machines... And then realized we made similar machines for less so... They ordered the whole system from us - less pneumatic and electrical controls. With the heads, drills and motors, it is close to our largest single order ever... But we didn't have enough floor space to take a photo of everything. The drills and motors take up 3X the space of the heads. P.S. I get a better discount from FedEx FedEx standard or freight? ...Or both? Just negotiated a great rate with FedEx Freight. -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 (908) 542-0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R |

FedEx standard or freight? ...Or both? Just negotiated a great rate with FedEx Freight. Both, a little moot now that our biggest customer has agreed to pick-up the freight (thank God) and now we ship to them full truck loads. All incoming freight, we have specified FedEx Freight and they have been wonderful. I credit our salesman from FEF for untangling any little problems. I'm glad to see you are doing well and wish you the best! Tommy |

I credit our salesman from FEF for untangling any little problems. UPS seems to "rule" the East Coast whereas FedEx seems to "rule" the west coast... So I was very surprised to see the service and prices of FedEx Freight here in NJ. We switched from a local shipping outlet that got us a good discount on a nationwide shipper to FEF because the service was that much better. The fact that the price is 10% lower too also helped. Again, VERY surprised because standard FedEx around here is really, REALLY bad. I'm glad to see you are doing well and wish you the best! Thank you. You too! The only regrets we all have about being this busy revolve around how we spend our free time now.

No, they bought Viking Freight and American Freightways to turn into FedEx Freight. Roadway Package System became FedEx Ground. You need a program to keep up with all this... -- Bruce -- |
