I have a small shop in my basement. Its fairly simple, I have a lathe, mill, cnc router, some fairly nice welding gear, small brake shear role, descent inspection equipment, etc. I'm stewing over purchasing a new mill. I have everything already bought to convert it to a CNC. I'm a little hesitant on the purchase because I really only have one client. This client is a small business that I do some actual production work form them on my CNC. I have done work for them for almost two years. I wish I had a few more clients. I have been trying but no luck. I'm really looking for suggestions on how I might grab another client or two. I've floated a few business cards around town and added post to craigslist. I'm looking for suggestions on how I might get another client or two. What are some ways to get in touch with local businesses and ask if they need any work done. Does anybody have any tried and true methods to do this? I'm not trying to get high production, high precision aerospace work but just some general machine work.
In my head I'm thinking there has to be some small companies in the area that need some parts made. I mean with all of the supply chain disruptions, I know some local business has to have a need to have a small shop fill in some supply chain gaps.
Any suggestions?
