Yesterday, Ron also mentioned a site for Fadal information. I think this is it. You might want to mark it for future reference. Now that the factory is shut down, we may get some requests to work on these too.

Haas Service
Yesterday, Jerry, Ron, Jeff and I were discussing ways to increase business in 2010. One thing that came up was the possibility of aggressively going after more Haas service business. Ron pointed out that he has worked on a few lately and doesn't think that they should be that hard to learn. Our mechanics have been working on them quite awhile, but have complained about the parts situation, specifically their policy to not sell to us.
Travis has mentioned several times that he gets requests for Haas service from new, potential customers.
Obstacles that I see include the parts issue, training on the electronics and operation, and price competition. Although their Factory Store seems to have comparable pricing to us, there are any number of laid off former Haas guys roaming the country, working out of their cars, who would compete with us. Many of these guys are uninsured, so we have an advantage there.
I would like your input on this.
Happy New Year
