Making the CNC cutting machine earn its keep<\/h4>

At Swift-Cut, we spend a lot of time listening to our customers AFTER the sale.\u00a0 We think there is value in feedback that helps us as a company stay at the top of our game.\u00a0 It\u2019s never better when we hear how a table has not only excelled at what it was purposefully bought for, but has also taken on a life of its own.<\/p>

Most customers state that the expense of outsourcing, both in pure monetary terms and in a timescale sense, is one of the main catalysts for the purchase of their Swift-Cut CNC cutting machine.\u00a0 The difference in-house cutting can make to a business is often unquantifiable.\u00a0 Many of our customers say that their table paid for itself within weeks \u2013 as return on investments go, it doesn\u2019t get much better than that.<\/p>

But what about extending the scope of the table?\u00a0<\/h4>

What about literally \u2018turning the tables\u2019 and becoming the outsourcer? It\u2019s not something any of our clients even considered when they were purchasing their table, however for some, it was a natural transgression that saw them offering their services as outsourcers.<\/p>

How will we have the time?<\/h4>

When you suddenly have control over your own productivity and set your own timescales, many of our customers found they could take on more work.\u00a0 The speed of turnaround and the ability to make changes, or correct mistakes immediately, means that there is now scope for expansion.\u00a0 Some customers simply take on more work.\u00a0 However, some have found profit in offering their services as metal cutters.<\/p>

How it worked for our customers<\/h4>

Alan Shirley of ASE Engineering is a fine example of this.\u00a0 Based in regional Australia, outsourcing for him meant weeks of waiting for parts, often suffering huge delays if the outsourcers made errors. Purchasing his own table meant he could now work quickly and without delay and in no time at all, other businesses in his area were asking for his help.\u00a0 Now he is the outsourcer, using his table to its maximum potential and becoming the go to for his fellow metal cutters.<\/p>

Closer to home, JAILmake \u2013 a research and concept led 3D design studio in London use their Swift-Cut CNC cutting machine to create prototypes.\u00a0 It\u2019s proved to be invaluable as an in-house tool, they can now produce immediate results instead of waiting on an outsourcer.\u00a0 However, one of the most profitable ways its used is as a simple outsourcing tool.\u00a0 Customers can send over a .DXF or .AI file and JAILmake will create their design.\u00a0 Customers can then collect the finished work or have it delivered.\u00a0 In basic terms, the table is making cold hard cash as well as being a continuous work tool and contributing to the overall success of the company.<\/p>

What Swift-Cut says<\/h4>

Swift-Cut is a progressive, innovative company \u2013 it thrives on finding the best technologies and making them available and affordable.\u00a0 When we hear that a customer has taken one of our machines and maximised its potential far beyond its initial purpose, it\u2019s pretty much the best feedback we could ask for.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
