What we are getting for Christmas

[1964GN]

Lots of blood, sweat and tears to make this happen but overall it's been a very good experience. The ROQs are shipping out on Wednesday so I'll finally get shop space back

What kind of money are people spending to get screens with welded cups?

I "think" we were at $16 per screen, 425 screens total so it ain't cheap.

Thanks.

It's $7 per pin for roller frames. $28 per frame. That's from SPSI. They're $8.50/ea. directly from Stretch Devices. Not cheap either. I'm sure if all works out with setup times cost in savings on labor alone would pay for them in no time.

I had to get some for 60 of my screens. I found some M3 rollers in good condition WITH MHM pins for $27/ea. I got a steal on those. Pins are made for the M3 only and NOT the ultralights.

Agreed! Even when we have to ship them into Canada. That’s why I’m so interested in verifying the claims.

Would take someone 10mins and earn them $10k off Danny! Haha. Now THAT would pay for some pins.

Good to know. All of our frames are ultralights

Is it possible to get EZ frames with the cups welded or is that a big pain in the ass? I'm really liking those frames and don't want to switch.

I don't think so. I think the cups would interfere with changing mesh BUT I would double check that with SPSI

I have a business problem with Jon Potter. I reached out to MHM directly to get the info I need to make a decision on my next press.

He made it personal my sending me a personal message on Facebook. And then my communication with MHM mysteriously stopped. Strange coincidence.


EDIT: and now, today my phone has a bunch of calls from England which I can only assume is MHM. So my communication has mysteriously started again. Strange coincidence.

Jon probably wanted to have an adult conversation with you but based on what I have seen here, and on facebook, that's not likely to ever happen.

If I am not mistaken, wasn't Jon behind constantly crap talking M&R on Instagram for a period of time? Correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure it was him. He's always been cool to me so ill be cool to him.

Agreed, he’s been pretty childish so far.

My email is open and still waiting for a reply from MHM.

Here is my last email to MHM that went has no reply since Nov 18. Right around the same day I got a message from Jon on Facebook.

“Thanks.

I have seen lots of claims that there are shops doing these huge changeovers every day, all day. So I imagined someone would be able to hold up a phone for the five minutes and show it in action. I hope you can understand that some skepticism has to go along with any claim. It should only take 5-10 minutes in a working shop to show how changeovers look in the real world.

I have seen ROQ shops switching over to MHM recently. One of the biggest red flags for us about M&R was how many shops were switching over to ROQ instead of staying with M&R. So seeing shops switch to MHM brings up the same curiousity.



So when considering our new press I am heavily considering MHM.



I appreciate you taking the time to look into this. I see Jon Potter making claims that they are the fastest presses for changeovers, but when people ask him to prove it he gets pissed off and tells people to fly to England and see it themselves. If you can appreciate the efficiency of a fast changeover surely you can appreciate how ridiculously inefficient it is to suggest travelling overseas.



I saw someone tell Jon Potter they would pay $10,000 USD to anyone beating their changeover times on a ROQ. Jon told him he should keep his money and donate it to charity.



My thinking was this: why not hold a phone up for five minutes, win the bet, and donate the money to charity yourself?



I tried to ask Jon Potter this myself but he has blocked me on Facebook and requested I be removed from an industry group! So on a side note I'm hoping you have different sales people available then the ones I've been interacting with.



To clarify here I'm not looking for the record-breaker video here, just would love to see footage that's in a real shop, not a tradeshow floor. With real time, not edited down.


Talk soon! Thanks again,”

How can I have a conversation when he’s got me blocked?

He unblocked me for a few minutes after i sent this message to say “LOL”. Not sure what’s adult about this.

Keeping in mind I really am the child here age wise...

[CBCB]

How long before he requests I’m banned from this forum, too?



I am not a doubter. I just think it’d be easier to prove the claims than to call me a doubter or paint me green.

It only makes me wonder if something is being hidden when it’s so much easier to prove your claim than to run around discrediting me.

Hey Brandt, I have many friends at Big Blue, I think you may be mistaken. Peter Walsh VP will verify my long standing friendship with M&R. Both companies have a great mutual respect.

You obviously know I was talking about you, not Jon. I'm done feeding the troll.

Fair enough, my apologies. But lets be clear someone on team MHM was slinging a crap ton of drama M&R's way on Insta a few years back.
