My first visit to the site and I love it. I am a Journeyman Machine Repairman two years out of my apprenticeship working for Chrysler.
I am sad to see our machine tool builders dying. Standard, R&B, Briddgeport Machine no less! We have a number of Kasper CNC machines in our plant and a factory service man told me the other day that they are done also. Alot of this has apparently been caused by large auto companies stretching out the the time they pay (or do not pay) their receivables, foreign competition and other factors. But what it comes down to is there is soon going to be nothing american to purchase....sad...gary
