The best thing about working like this, spinners making spinners, is the continuous in-house feedback loop of your product. Dogfooding at its best π
Never heard of Spinner before. Fascinating stuff. I'll take one of each plus a 100k sq ft shop to run them in! Seriously, great to see a trade school built into the facility. I was an aimless teenager when I transferred to the local Vo-Tech and failed to get into my first choice, automotive shop. My 2nd choice, machine trades, turned my life around. Found something that I was really good at, That I LOVED, that drove me to learn and progress, and gave me a career. Still LOVE making crap to this day. I hope we can get more teenagers interested in the skilled side of manufacturing, make America a country that produces more high quality goods, and pays the skilled labor what they're worth. In my job as a computer consultant I make several times what I ever made as a moldmaker (the last phase of my manufacturing career) and moldmaking was MUCH MUCH more difficult than what I do now. I worked with some incredibly smart talented people when I was a moldmaker, and saw amazing things done everyday. I wish more young adults could be exposed to it, as I'm sure some would be drawn to it like I was.
That is one impressive make, that Iβm embarrassed to say I hadnβt heard of until now. Mind blowing approach to axis movement and control on vibration and tolerance. I would love to run one.
This is a fine tour! I'm impressed by the spacious and bright factory halls, everything tidy and organized, the apprentice department,

What a sharp looking jacket.
Very interesting! your trips to the factories are very informative and useful. arrange them more often.
it should be nice to see a interview with the designers and software programmers
wow! Those are some very nice machines, first time learning about this brand. I get dumbfounded at how many machine tool manufacturers exist.
Nice!!! Evaluating your new machines in house by putting them in your own work floor allows for immediate improvements !
Nice to see some Spinner and a FPT in use!
im a german industial mechanic and in my lehrwerkstatt i trained cnc on a VC1650 :D
The physical stuffs, wood and metals are always so organized ππ just don't look too closely at the German software or electronics
Awesome tour!
