Plug for a great waterjet cutter/machinist

You may have seen my rant on apparel mfg. here in the States vs. India...short of it: U.S. customer service, price and attitude sucks.

I needed some complex shapes cut for our T-shirts... we lay them down and spray bleach over dinosaurs to get a negative, or stamp with silkscreen ink as a positive. Going into production, I needed a few sets which are used, washed, recycled down the assembly line so that even though they are handmade, it goes pretty fast.

A friend of mine set me up with Shawn McClure, owner of HydroCam in NH. Even though I only needed just the few things below, like India, it was as though I needed 10,000 of these. Great customer service up front, and even though they were booked out 2 weeks, Shawn got them to me waaaay ahead of schedule so that I could send them along overseas. Great price, no rush charges!

it doesn't get any better than this in doing business.

I know there are a lot of engineers here on the board and you probably have your vendors set up, but if you are looking for a great cutter/machinist, I highly recommend HydroCam.

Very nice looking work. Have seen some waterjet demo's and was really impressed.
