My brother and I own a Fab shop employing 102 people as of today...2 FMS Fiber Lasers, 1 CO2 FMS Laser, 3 Amada 1212 Pulsar Lasers, 7 Strippit Turrets, 24 Amada Press Brakes and 1 Safan Press Brake...use to build a lot of stuff in the shop at night but I got tired of having to answer questions and solve problems on the second shift. 4 years ago I built a 10500 sq ft shop at home and created a mini version of our shop.
Omax 5555 Water Jet, Sharp SV-2412 CNC Mill, Sharp Knee Mill, Sharp Lathe, Accupress 60 Ton 6 foot Press Brake (set-up for European and American Tooling), Ellis 2000 Saw, Lincoln TIG and Wirefeed. Looking or a 1/4 inch 6 foot minimum Shear still. Now I can build anything I want right on the backyard.
Looking at buying a Desktop Metal Printer in the next 12 months...or so.
Also looking to upgrade my Accupress to a 6 Axis Amada ounce we go to trade one in on something new. I'll buy it out of the company for the trade value.
My projects are never ending!!! And my world of capabilities is only limited by time. Work comes first!!!
