    Those sanders are not backordered, Rockler in Spring has them in stock. 16-32 and 19-38 models.

    Love your guys videos! Don’t take this as being negative…..there are a number of minor tweaks to your build process that would save you tons of time and effort. Would love to share them with you.

    With so much unused space in that shop, you need to invest in an outfeed table. Get one of the adjustable height tables at Home Depot if you don't have the time to build one. You can use it for outfeed then roll it around for many other uses.

    I used to have that sander too. I just checked and their customer service number is clearly listed on their website. I’ve heard complaints about their customer service, but no need to exaggerate it.

    I just bought something from a Mom and Pop company over a much larger, and longer in business, company due to a higher customer care rating. They even took the time to make sure I got the best fit for MY needs. Price was minutely higher.

    The same thing, kinda, happened to me earlier this month. Long story short, I didn’t mind paying full price for the product I ordered, but you’re 100% correct if you thought I got 100% of my delivery cost refunded because the product didn’t arrive anywhere close to on schedule.

    are there sparks (15.24) when using the badsaw? Seems like a little tuning is needed. Speed when producing large batches is nice but this might be a little to extreme in my opinon.
    Nice to see the process of developing more a efficient workflow!

      I'll also say that, as someone who recently edge-jointed something like 300 boards in a day, the volume eventually gets to a point where you have to outweigh the potential risk versus the guarantee of splinters and cuts. Breaking down 17 sheets of plywood into small drawers the day before (also without gloves) left my hands looking like I'd played catch with a cactus.

    I feel you on the customer service or lack there of. A few years ago I ordered a tool chest from Sears that shipped out of Canada to my house instead of shipping it to the store. They gave me no update for 3 weeks and they said shipping was delayed and gave me $100 compensation. Upon arrival, the chest was heavily damaged. By the time it was returned, that model was discontinued and I was forced to order the newer, more expensive model. After negotiation, the customer service department gave me 25% off. In the end Sears did the right thing. Hopefully, Latuda will step up too.

    I once had to get a part for my wood lathe, but I didn't know what part I needed so I contacted the maker of the lathe, and they told me a part but it ended up being the wrong one. So I contacted them back and they sent me the right part free of charge and let me keep the part I didn't need. 😊

    I’m surprised laguna treated you like this. I have the Supermax 19-38. When I moved back in 2020, 2 of the legs on the sander got bent. I contacted them to order new legs, they overnighted the legs to me free of charge! I was quite surprised. This is by no means a hobbyist level machine for everyone saying that.

    Hi Davis, Try looking In to Wood Master drum sanders. There American Made and I needed parts for my 20-year-old planer. They had all the parts and I talked to them on the phone to get instructions on how to install some of them. Great service and I received the parts in less than a week. Just a thought. I enjoy your guy's videos and hope you can make some more.

  • @shanewilliams6853

    You guys should look into a sliding panel saw, can easily crosscut all your stock you currently cut with the mitre saw.
    Can "joint" the boards for glue ups.
    once glued can easily square and dimension panels. save a lot of time going from one machine to another machine, time is money. you can even do larger glue ups and easily dimension on a panel saw, getting 3-4 boards per glue up as opposed to 1. run the panel through the thicknesser and sander as a longer panel then cut to size.
    you'll probably end up with a bit more wastage but you'll definitely save days of labour

    Put all your brainboard controlled machines on a switched receptacle and be sure to switch them off after every use. It was very likely a power surge at the pole that took the board out. If you can't find a switched receptacle with a high enough amp rating, you'll find one at your local HVAC or electrical supply house. Don't use the breaker in your service panel as a switch. They're not made to be used like that and will have a much shorter service life being used in such a manner. Best of luck to you two.

    Writing policies is one thing, but writing policies that are actually practical, work and are simple to implement are another thing. The company that I work for has become so mired in policy after policy that the day to day operations are suffering. For instance a policy put out by one part of the company contradicts policies put out by another part of the company. The whole place has become a bureaucratic mess.

    The British phrase "All your eggs in one basket" comes to mind. Do you have the same saying? Anyway, you have reached the stage where you seriously need to do a little bit of risk analysis. That, by the way is typical British understatement. You need to do a lot of risk analysis. 😀
    This is one critical failure point, are there more in your process? You are obviously going to need to purchase a second drum sander and may also need to double up on any other equipment that is on that critical list.
    The cost of doing business once you reach a certain level of orders. Congratulations for reaching that point.

    That’s why you need to be smart when choosing tools, doesn’t matter at what level. Parts and service is more important than the tool itself. I’m in the process of buying a big sliding table saw, it will cost around 40K, yes there are decent options at 12k-20K, but all these companies don’t have the infrastructure, the technicians to support their product as I need it. The 40K guarantees me 12 technicians in my area and 95% of the parts shipped over night. I don’t like spending so much money, but I need to know that the tool will work I need it to work. I learned my lesson exactly like you guys. On the beginning you don’t really know what to buy, or how to buy. Not telling anyone what tools to buy, but when you get to the stage of constant production I think and I know you should consider different kind of tools and most important stay away from China tools. Do they serve the purpose? Yes. Do they last? Some. Can you get it fixed? If it takes 30 days or more to get it fixed, I might as well throw it to the garage because it holds my production and I’m loosing way more money than the tool price itself.

    First time watching one of your videos and it was alright. Sucks about the customer service you got though seems to be typical these days.
    I decided to check out Stud Stack. Sounded interesting; especially the community of similar small makers. For the price I wanted to know how many other makers were actually there. Couldn't find that info on your page. So I thought I would ask. Except there is no way to contact anyone there. Didn't you just crap on a company for not providing a way to get in touch? There isn't even a contact form like the crappy company at least provided. With that kind of attention to detail I think I'll keep my money.

      Pro tip on how to make money… don’t go and buy the most expensive tools as soon as you can afford them. That sander is absolutely perfect for them. A bigger sander would take up more space as well as be much more expensive. Just because something is more expensive doesn’t mean it will never break.

      I'm not sure whether this comment was actually meant to be constructive or just bragging.
      However, when a business gets to a certain size at least having backup equipment is a reasonable goal. This way your business is not "shut down" if something breaks. When you get your sander replaced, fix the old one, put it on casters and put it in the corner, just in case !

    • @alexanderhuff8758
      @alexanderhuff8758 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      In my experience woodworkers are too investment adverse. Woodworking equipment is cheap, so they are used to not having to make a commitment to a big purchase. They'll lose days trying to avoid spending $500.
      I run a machine shop, and in the machining world we have the opposite problem. Machinists like to fix all their problems by spending money, when they could save $1000 with half a days work.
      The real companies know how to split the difference. It sounds like their drum sander sits idle for the vast majority of the day, so optimizing a non- bottleneck would be a waste of money. But I agree that they should be looking into more industrial equipment as they grow. Heck, if they were loosing money without the thing, they should have just gone and bought a second one. A harbor freight unit would have got them back on their feet, and provided some extra capacity if they needed it in the future.
