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...
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...
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...
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?

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...
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.
We also had a bad start with proshop, and ended up getting a refund. We have since switched to Realtrac, and have been loving it for the past year. We are 12 people, 18 machines, low volume high mix job shop.
