Manufacturing has had the tools for quite some time. Since the 80's any ways. The manual tool room is dead. No parts will ever be more effectively run on a manual machine with manual labor ever again. If you have conversational CNC's in your tool room and think your up to date? think again.

I would like to introduce you to a way of setting your tooling to your machine not your machine to your tooling. Whats the difference you may ask. Ok lets start off with your average tap and drill. If you have to re calibrate your tap drill everytime you change it, your losing money compared to this system. If fact if your re calibrating any tool after you change it your losing productivity right? Ok then lets get you up to speed. If I can show you a way to pre set your tools so that when they need changed out you simply open the collet push your new tool to the back stop, close the collet and your ready, would you buy it?.

forget the adjustable jacobs style drill chuck. throw them out or sell them on E-bay. They were great on the manual machines but they suck on the auomatic ones. What I'm offering is a way to never have to touch off a tool ever again. Your tooling will be ready to make chips as soon as you get it replaced. not after you have set your machine to it. You can change a worn tool while the machine is running and when it gets to the tool you changed your machine keeps right on going. NO errors or crashes either I promise.

My system of tool holders and tapping heads will make changing worn tools and taps a breeze. Programming becomes simpler with a standard array of tooling that can be programmed into your CAM software wich ever one you use. With down time minimized to a point you will wonder why you even have an operator any more. How can I say that? I have a fully functional tool room myself that can make any part up to 60 inches in size and I run it myself. I've developed this system and cut my work force to 1/3 and put out more product than ever before. Think about it. If you can produce the same volume of product with 1/3 the work force you can offer better pricing, get more jobs, Make more money. You must have CNC equipment allready in place other than that you would be ready as soon as you tool up with my tool holders with adjustable positive stops.

I don't know, you tell me

I'm booking orders and have the much of the year planned out with multiple Opportunities. And I have at least one vendor that is completely booked as well. How is everyone else doing in this perfect storm?

The idea of being able to electronically shred a document seems like a pipe dream to me. I'm not to sure your going to be able to rely on it. I'm certain a computer can do it, but a computer is a little like a gun. It's the owner you have to be afraid of. I currently employ a safe file transfer with customers securely by either my ftp server or theirs. Using this method allows me to either publish or not, my customers or my drawings. very safely. The larger companies are very hip to this and use software that makes use of this ability of a computer to transfer files and still maintain the integrity of the distribution. This is not a very cost effective way to maintain security for the smaller companies right now and may be why its not widely used with them. An online server can cost thousands to have and maintain, not to mention you may need an "IT guy" as they say to keep control of it. This is how I'm CURRENTLY maintaining the integrity of my customers documents. I share an ftp user account with them or vise versa. I can pull these documents right out of the folder into my CAM software and then onto code. I can open a read only file from an customers ftp server around the globe, make code from it. never save anything of the file other than my text doc for the CNC.

This is just one more way Eric's Tool Room, Inc. is statying ahead of the curve.

Any one out there requiring the service and talent of real tool makers and wants privacy can ask for a ftp user acct or provide one of their own either way we can work together on a level not found anywhere else.
