Show Time Is Back, Are You Ready?
The day this magazine was turned in to the printer, I went to the Anaheim Convention Center to attend the Medical and Design Show at the Convention Center. I have no idea how attendance will be, what the safety protocols will be or if it will be worth my time to attend. I am expecting it will be. I am excited to visit some old friends, see some new technology and get a feel for peoples thoughts on where our industry is going.
In early September CNC WEST will have a booth at the Northwest Machine Tool Show in Portland. A few weeks after that in mid-September Fabtech will take place in Chicago. And finally in November, WESTEC the big show of the western region will take place in November. CNC WEST has a booth there also.
I still think shows are an excellent way to get new customers and show people your products and new technology. Some might call me a dinosaur but hey I still believe print is an excellent vehicle to be seen in this industry.
Our cover article in this issue was written by Sean Buur and is about a shop in southern California. They recently purchased a Studer CNC grinder and are extremely happy about it. Their mantra is to be flexible and to always try to fill the customers needs. Seems like they are succeeding. Another article in this issue written by Sean is on a San Diego company who does lots of work for the Navy. Makes sense that for Navy jobs they do a lot of work on their waterjet.
Another article deals with a company that makes props and sets for the movie and TV industry. As you can imagine most things are one off and needed quickly. Employees have a job title of I do a little of everything. I think you will enjoy this story. Our last feature article was submitted to us and is about a shop in California called WET Design that creates water features that are quite a few cuts above the fountains you might see at your local mall or city park.
I hope you enjoy this issue. Next issue is our October/November issue and it will be the start of 40 years of putting out CNC WEST. It will also be our WESTEC issue and will probably be our biggest issue of the year.
Thanks for reading , Sincerely,
Shawn Arnold
