6. “I don’t care about improving tool
efficiency – my tools cost about $20 each
and last over 200 parts. Downtime, quality,
customer orders, labor – there are way
more important problems to deal with!”
Gordon Long,
20 years of machining experience
“Oh no no no – the tools that break are the
drills, taps and end mills – the milling
machine is what you should be looking at!”
Mick Franssen,
30 years of machining experience

7. “The tool holder is interesting – but why don’t you
put it into my vise jaw? It is pretty standard and
can fit onto my machine quickly. Take this one!”
Ken Berling,
Owner of Monterey Industries
“The machine tool communication problem is
being solved today, but automation and
monitoring has not yet hit the mainstream
industry – you need to standardize the way
you collect data and communicate”
Benjamin Moses,
Technical Director, AMT

9. “This is just the beginning! Design products for
tomorrow, not for today – even Autodesk is
coming out with a suite of mobile / tablet apps for
machinists – smartphone apps are a good idea!”Carl Bass,
CEO, Autodesk
“Real-time data is useless! Once this data is put
together with the process information, we can
figure out better ways to make the same part.
The machinists, however, need something
visual, something decision-making!”
Dan Frayssinet,
CEO, DP Technology

15. “The guys at Microsoft and Amazon would love to see
this. Maybe we should take this to NIST. The thing is all
these people want to get into the industrial internet
but they need data. Here you are saying you have data!”
“Machine tool manufacturers are always competing!
They want to know how something will work only with
their machine! Your advantage is that it can work on
any machine – it can work on a Haas next to a Mori”
