In-house development of custom tools like this goes a long way toward helping to build even greater vertical integration for the business. Equally crucial is management support and corporate culture that encourages the iterative development behind this development process. Great work, T-Rex!

maybe not pioneering the technologies, but sharing the process of actually building a functioning company from a little shop doing handmade individual products to mass production is something I don't think has been done before. I'd love to see more stuff like this, showing how y'all learned to grow as a company. I think its useful information for everyone looking to expand their own horizons

I'm a CNC machinist/tool maker for a large corporation's engineering firm. Our shop focuses on production intent prototype tooling(that's a mouthful). I have some notes: - Don't neglect your work holding in CNC. Clamps and such can take you a long way and sometimes may be your only option. But having a repeatable setup can be invaluable. Minimizing setup time while simultaneously improving precision is possible with various "off the shelf" solutions such as FCS workholding. Is FCS right for you? I don't know, that's something for you to research. It isn't cheap though. There are other similar solutions available that may suit your needs better. Are you using Solidworks or some other CAD software? What are you using for CAM?

I stopped taking Tacticon seriously when they made a response video insisting that cheap "offshore" tourniquets were "just as good" as NAR CATs. It's ok to cheap out on a lot of things but life saving equipment isn't one of 'em. Especially not a piece of kit that needs to be high quality in materials and manufacturing to do the job asked of it.

Part of the reason those hand presses require both hands is for safety, you're much less likely to have your hand in the press when it comes down if it requires both of them to use it. It might seem like an unlikely scenario, but hopefully you've considered all the possible ways your new machine could hurt someone, even and especially if that someone was doing something... not smart.
