Flexarm Factory Tour 

I’m sure glad we decided to take the drive up to Ohio, it was a lot of fun! Thanks for inviting us and my viewers up into the new shop! 💪🏻🇺🇸

I noticed you guys have an interview with Adam, maybe link to it in this thread. I would have never seen it if I didn't look at your videos. I'll be watching it next.

@@xenonram Absolutely! Abom was nice enough to sit down for our first ever "Fireside Chats" video --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vc0tyIndJnQ.html

@@Abom79 you're welcome back any time my friend!

FlexArm / FlexCNC .....I love you guy's passion for what you do! Flex Arm looks like a company in forward gear and is exactly what "Made In America" is talking about. Looks like a fun place to be. Thanks for the tour!

I used to tell my old ahole boss that I would rather work in a nice place that had great morale and did not constantly lie to you or stab you in the back. Rather have great morale and caring bosses then a dollar raise. I worked at a scum bag large gannett newspaper for 16 years while they were still making millions of dollars. They refused to let us know when they made changes that affected us like stoppage of $3 meal money after working 10 hours, no over time pay until you worked 40 hours even if you scheduled a vacation day 2 months early. Stopped paying over time for emergency call ins. Would have you work 8 hours then send you home. Would expect you to cover for a day worker that called out sick 2 hours after getting home. Told them If I come in like that must be paid overtime. Several times they borrowed $40 brand but obsolete hard to get new circuit breakers that I had but never paid me or gave me a replacement so one Friday night they got into a jam and needed 2 of them. Told them let me check my garage. Yep only way you can have them if somebidy delivers $160 in cash to my house. Boy did that piss them off. Ended up paying thru the nose for them.

Glenn Lawrie-Smith I thought the same thing. If I weren't retired and all worn out I'd be looking these guys up for a job.

I'll let a guy with 300k subs bring his camera, I'd probably throw in a pallet of tapper too. If he signed something saying he'd never use a hand tap again, I'd probably become a channel sponsor.

@@googleuser859 why what cucumber fruit?

Unless it is a Flex CNC made in Spain.

you're welcome!

thanks for watching the Fireside Chat!

:)

You'd be surprised, if you have a running business and can show the bank a good business plan for why you need the space for further growth getting a loan for this sort of thing is pretty straight forward.

Or win the Powerball.

thanks for "stopping by" ;)

Yup. WAAAAY BIGGER!

MrFHLH I thought the same.

@@joeylawn36111 fair point, I am sure that Adam with find this a very useful bit of kit in his workshop

...except for the roads. Dunno if it's the heavy trucks or the winters with the freeze / thaw / freeze cycles, probably both.

...except the Flex CNC that is made in Spain.

Keith Hansen well isn’t that just a nice compliment! Thanks man!!!

That's why they call their Tennant sweeper a Zamboni. It needs to play skating rink music when it runs. 😉

I thought the same as well, I immediately noticed it and was thinking “dam, that really looks crooked!” Glad I wasn’t the only one lol

I saw that too but brushed it off to camera lens distortion. That happens when they use a wide angle lens.

It was the wide angle lens. After we watched it I was like 😬 haha

John W trust when I say, the clutch would have indicated that much misalignment. They are fairly sensitive and that would have been enough to alarm it.

yep, just from the angle with the camera!

Vic Miller you could possibly be on to something 🤷‍♂️

Plus you had redback spider on the dunny, brown snake in the rafters, crocodiles when you went fishing, and pretty little octopus that would kill you stone dead. All we have here in NZ are sandflies.

be bit curious to see how the machine settles over time also

Welded bases for machines are OK if properly stress relieved ...then properly supported with heavy concrete footings with isolation from surrounding vibrations ....may require adjustment after approx one year of operation (depending on variables)

Wonder if the plates fit through that railing....
