    Xometry Prices

    Xometry has spent more time in my facility, and provided us with much more help then any other customer I have, including customers that are less than 2 miles away from my facility. In turn we provide them with the best customer service we possibly can.

    A capable "outsider" is very well is able to understand that 40 x 20 doesn't mean you cant do larger, and that you don't need a 5 axis machine to do 5 axis positional work. I'd be willing to wager pretty much every single person on this forum has done similar "feats". A test piece that looks...

    Xometry Prices

    I agree that is true. In order to do well, you have to be at a certain spot in the hierarchy, and be really tuned in to them. The tiers do not magically unlock only good work, but it puts a lot more good jobs on my board. I completely agree that their road map isn't ideal, and it would be...

    It is rolled out to the first trusted group. Jobs are being flagged as such. Just not to everyone yet.

    Ive never mentioned my profits, and don't post in the F360 forum here. I think you have me confused with someone else.

    I agree with everything you said Boosted. I don't get quite so upset over the job board stuff, but it's definitely something we are seeing also.

    Xometry Prices

    This is true. Ultra premium, trusted network, ISO/AS9100 certified, ITAR, etc. There is good work to be had, but have to jump through hoops to get there. I think we are around 5 years now with them and its still been a pretty positive experience for us. It was filler work at the beginning...

    Okuma Genos Lathe Alarm 1741

    Did you adjust the limit switches on the chuck to tell it when its clamped and unclamped? Did you also ensure its in OD or ID clamping mode depending on what you are clamping?

    Everyone has to start somewhere. I started with a 95 VF2. Stock prices aren't the best barometer for business success. If they went under, I would pick up the pieces, and use the same principals and find another customer.

    Xometry Premium Partner

    I am the owner of a shop with 10 employees, 20 CNC machines, a workspace of 15,000 square feet, and we operate on a single shift. Our basic hourly rate for simple work on inexpensive materials is $100, and this rate can increase depending on the complexity of the job. Compared to businesses...

    Xometry Premium Partner

    Its probably because I am a Xom schill. Or I am that AS9100D guy or some other bullshit. I can't tell you why other people have struggled with Xom. All I know is that I have done everything I could to foster a great relationship with them. I made contacts and built friendships and trust...

    Xometry Premium Partner

    I am ultra premium. Below is where we are at as of today. About 1.2 mil in open orders with them. Becoming a higher tier partner didn't change the job board a lot, but it opened up a lot of opportunities with them that never make it to the job board.
