When 50% are broke down waiting for service, that's effectively 33 machines🤣

They are planning on doing a retrofit of my AFP machine later this year. It will be pretty much a rebuild.

Not really an issue...There are currently 2 lathes down but will all Mazaks, when we call, we pretty get the next available tech if it requires a factory tech....and we have an independent guy as well who handles the rest...

Waiting for a part is usually the only thing.

We've got two VTL's here that were built in the early 1970's

We were on a 5 year cycle...recently that was opened up to 8 years and even then, there will still be machines that won't be here for 8, they'll be gone sooner.
