You own a machining business that primarily deals in milled and turned parts. However, you keep getting RFQ’s crossing your desk for laser-cutting, welding, and forming – so what do you do?
You could mark them up, outsource them, pass them on to another shop, or outright pass completely – but what’s the best strategy?
In this episode of MACHINE SHOP TALK, Ian Sandusky from Lakewood Machine is back to cover this scenario that every shop will find themselves in sooner or later.
While there are many solutions to dealing with a predicament like this, there are some major pitfalls you need to avoid – and some strategies that can instead help develop your business into a manufacturing powerhouse!
