Yeah, I know a few like that and guess who gets the better deal?rockfish
Believe it or not, I once had my boss tell me that if I were to buy a machine and put in my garage, he would prefer to send me work than pay me to be an employee. It's just the way they feel. They firmly believe that it is FAR cheaper to farm work out than to keep an employee busy.
The BOSS...
...does not have to pay overtime
...does not make the Co contribution to Social Security
...does not pay your self employment tax
...does not have to pay for scrap
...does not have a larger electric bill
...does not wearout his machines
YOU...
...get to spend YOUR $$ on machinery
...Get to spend more on electricity
...You pay for scrap
...maybe you make normal rate
...do you think he who knows what that part costs will let you make a lot???
There are a few more in each catagory, but those are a start.
If your lucky the comunity you live in wont find out and close you down.
But that's what the home shop deals with, so...
now what? Get the RIGHT customers and you'l do fine. The wrong ones will kill you.
