My small shop had limited use for a brake but we needed one. We came across steelfab123.com on the internet (now defunct and renamed). I was told we could get manuals and equipment and everything was made in USA..etc. 20k later we buy an upgraded all-in-one. They wanted half down and half at shipping. Short version, after several MONTHS of delays, not picking up calls, and ignoring us; we get the machine(shipped expensively collect with no notice). It was missing over 1000 dollars in accessories/tooling, no manuals, paint chipped and already rusting in places, etc. The back gauge didn't work because it was VERY flimsy, and the shear also will not cut anything longer than about 2 feet without popping out of alignment. The upper and lower die seats/beds are drastically misaligned and not as flat as they should be. Obviously the 2 year warranty was not honored. After tons of phone calls and emails. Their excuse on the missing items was my salesman died and they would get it out to me ASAP. Months later and multiple attempts at follow up this still wasn't resolved. Over a year later and they responded again that they will get it to me. Now they now will NOT return any calls or emails. These people are now running yellowjacket1.com and fabiteasy.com. They changed the names. They don't give you full names when talking with you, and based on my chinese hydraulic motor and construction quality, I don't think this is made in the USA. That being said. These people are crooks. Please avoid yourself the headache. There is a Nicole, Larry, Dean (pretty sure is the same person as Larry), and Roger(might be deceased).
I have found out they have several product lines and company names. CE Designs LLC. fabiteasy.com steelfab123.com yellowjacket1.com Big Brute, Gladiator, Gator Shear, PSI engineering, and Rock Roller. They seem to change websites every few years best I can tell.
I can prove all this as well. I thought other small shops should know.
