Title: OK guys... Just OK'd my first new press!!
Post by: im_mcguire on January 29, 2016, 04:27:27 PM
So I just ok'd the purchase of a new 6/8 workhorse Cutlass w/ 2 flash backs.  I was really impressed with how it ran, and got some relief on the service side, that I was concerned about.

I am just happy right now.  Just thought i'd share, and Ill give updates on the install as it comes closer! :D

Super happy for you.  You'll wonder how you ever made it without it.

Upgrading from a 1980's automatic press, I am really excited to see the new turnaround time for jobs in my shop now.

The only better day than today is the day that the semi trailer shows up to unload the new press.  It truly is something I hope everyone soaks in and has someone else there to share in the moment.  It's such a HUGE moral booster for the shop and depending on the features the press has, the press ops could be lighter on their feet for months.  I remember being so pumped up getting to run the RPM that I couldn't wait to get to work every morning.  Our quality went from average to above average and the press made that happen more than anything because we all cared more and had a much cooler tool to do the job.  These types of days don't happen often enough for most of us so making sure the moment is .  And finally...CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats, any updates "video, pictures" we are looking at this press & a 6/8  Sabre, we are leaning towards the AC heads but didn't want to overlook the Cutlass, any info you can share about this machine is greatly appreciated?

Thanks

Press came in on Friday, probably another week or so before we can get it up and going.  Pretty excited to get press moving.
