It paid for itself...

Post by GripUs »

I know this is probably old hat for those of you who already have this series but should someone be contemplating the purchase of it I want to share this.

Since I purchased this series I have used it on a number of smaller projects that, collectively, have paid for the software. Then, in November I took an order for a mantel that, even after materials, sold for enough to pay for the software (and then some) in just that one sale.

Now, some of you are not going to be impressed by that, but those kinds of projects are really just a sideline for me to keep the machine busy when I am not cutting pistol grips.

Anyhow, I was excited about it. Thanks James for a great product!

Regards,

Joe

I fully agree with that statement !!

getting 1 or 2 customers who buy a piece from you made with this cd/dvd is all it takes (moneywise that is ;) )

Thanks James

Thanks for the kind words...you are just too kind to an old man. :D

I did not take any pictures before it left the shop (I always seem to be too busy to mess with that) but the buyer has promised me he would send me some now that he has it mounted. When I get them I will post them.

Yes, that is my letter to Grizzly. About a month after I sent that in that sander was down fro a couple of weeks while I waited on a new shaft, bearings and pulley. I have to accept the blame for that though as my preventative maintenance program is a little lacking. Around my shop it is only the squeaking wheel that gets the grease and sometimes not in time. :oops:
