    Xometry Premium Partner

    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

    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.

    Haas shrink fit machine

    I have one. Its an imported unit, but honestly its worked great. The holders themselves that Haas is selling are YG1 with Haas laser marking. We do less than 10 tool changes a day on ours, and its perfect for that. If you did a lot, you would want a water cooled unit.

    Thin AL Plate Machining required USA Based Companies ONLY
