  3. Employee Retention and new applicants

    I don't disagree. But if your shop is set up for it, automate the parts that can be automated. I have some great workers that I would put out of a job if I executed some of my engineering plans. But I am going to wait until they leave, then I will put a machine in to replace them. We like to...

  10. Hahaha I love these stories

    These are usually moms that have a bunch of tiny kids running around and this is what they do during nap time. It's a hobby. They have fun doing it. They get to know other tiny kid-moms and share projects with each other. If they're having fun and connecting with each other, what's the big deal?

  13. CNC router for foam

    EZ Router. Your key will be getting the correct bits, feeds, and speeds. Definitely spend the money and go with vac hold down. If only ever for foam, i have heard that there is a CNC hot wire foam cutting machine, although that is out of the realm of my expertise.
  14. Applying printed vinyl to presubstrate, a few questions
