Meet Daniel:Daniel Rogge is the CEO of Tormach and has a diverse background that includes experience as a professional metal fabricator, educator, Motion Control Engineer, and software developer. He holds a BA from Grinnell College, and an MS in industrial engineering, with the focus on manufacturing from University of Iowa. He continues to focus professionally on what he spent his time doing as a teaching assistant at Iowa, helping people make things!Erin: Can you explain what is done over at Tormach?Daniel: We design, sell, and support tools that help people make stuff, largely smaller computer controlled tools. So, milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, CNC routers, more recently, automation products, like industrial robots, but the general idea is, these are all tools that especially when the business started 20 years ago, were incredibly hard to get your hands on. So we make that stuff available to everybody. We have a very wide range of customers. Kris: Do you know what your customers are going to do with a machine before they purchase it? Is that something they're often sharing with your sales team or to discover which machine they need? Daniel: We don't have a sales team. More and more people do their research online and buy stuff without even talking to people. We have like tech support staff that are machinists and engineers and we do have two people that do like kind of up resale advising a lot of folks, they know that a milling machine could be used to make their part, but they don't quite know how and they want to ask questions. We don't call people or, you know, take names that trade shows and then call to follow up or anything like that. It's very much customers come to the website. And if they call us up, we ended up talking to them. I don't, um, it kind of varies by industry. Okay, whether we know what they're making, some folks are really vocal about it, and some folks not so much. And it also kind of varies by product, like the robot is a pretty new product. And so we definitely ask a lot of questions before somebody buys a robot because some people think you can do just about anything with a robot, which turns out is not true.Lori: What do you think is going to be critical and vital for the next 10, 20, 30 years for American manufacturing to really excel and flourish here?Daniel: We could come up with a national health plan or socialized medicine. I talked about that person that didn't have to quit his day job in order to become basically a cottage industry. He was he's manufacturing products in his garage and he didn't have to quit his day job. And the reason that was important to him is he has healthcare through his day job, as I'm sure perhaps the other people on this call have either healthcare through their jobs or their spouse's job. That's a huge burden to people starting small businesses, to people starting small manufacturing businesses. There's a lot of there's a lot of demand for manufacturing here, more demand than there is capacity. And there are plenty of small folks that would be happy to go out on their own. I mean, the big market that we sell to, but it's it's tough doing without decent health care, A and then B, over the next 10 to 15 years of health care costs continue to go at the pace that they have, I mean, they're outpacing even today's crazy inflation and health care costs are up with so clearly the country has to do something about that. But I actually think that would be helpful for manufacturing the United States.And so much more… Connect with Daniel

DFX celebrates our 50th episode with special guest Ed Rees from Saunders Machine Works. Ed talks about his luthier projects which sparked his initial interest in CNC machines. We chat about the Neo, Tormach, Haas and chickens.

Moving from CNC to RNR Grimsmo takes a well deserved break. His idea of a vacation? Renting a Tesla and taking it out on the open road to Tobermory for a coupe days. No need for new windows when you’re out in nature! And sometimes you can be most productive when you're relaxed.  The Grimsmo Shop Reaction:  “Guys, John’s gone! We can do whatever we want!...LET'S CLEAN!” The Grimsmo shop has gotten cleaner since he left it on Wednesday last week.  The best advice you can give may shock you! And it’s *drum roll please*... Stay humble.   “Your company comes with merit, and it shows something good about your personality, but still be the kind of person someone would want to get stuck in an airport with” - Saunders Playing fair with your customers Saunders and Grimsmo discuss Tormach vs. vertical machining centers, and the expenses involved in software updates that you aren’t allowed to do on your own. Will their businesses have to take a page from this book in the future? Psst...Can I Rask you a question? Grimsmo answers Saunders query about whether he’s going to start getting into Rask production again anytime soon. Answer: it’s complicated. There’s a technical problem that needs fixing before production can start up again, and Saunders and Grimsmo swap ideas about how to fix it. Possible Solution: The LX 160 New Training Classes at NYC CNC! This is the first week of Saunders’ new Haas machine training classes! You can sign up for a class here Saunders is also working on a secret project, stay tuned into this podcast for him to announce it within a couple months. Quick tip to avoid buyers’ remorse: “Don’t buy the machine unless you can sell yourself on it all day long, everyday” - Saunders Saunders Answers: Should you QUIT your job? Hint: Make sure you don’t turn your passion into a burden, stressing for money can do this. Is #PaulAkersMoment a thing? Saunders gets a new setup for the camera, and reduces setup times. Still SUPER EXCITED for IMTS! Coming up! We’ll hear a lot more about it in the next episode.

Entrepreneurship isn't all sunshine and rainbows. The Johns both express their gratitude for special people in their lives. Grimsmo decides to make his own fidget spinners (out of titanium) and two new grinding wheels have arrived. The Renishaw OLP for the lathe helps him make strides in efficiency. He is now running machines unattended while making good parts; especially with some additional macro code. Saunders is extremely pleased about how well the Tormach fixture plates are turning out.  Do you think machine time should be shown during EACH op in CAM and Fusion 360?
