    Build it and they will come
    Your customers embody the traits that want what you produce. The riddle for your boss is are there better customers to be had by doing things differently?

    If you would swing by and fix all of my busted concrete manipulation shit, I'd definitely think of you less cray:luvya:. Nevermind, you could be a PNW Bundy.

    Really, that's the crux of it. I know for a fact that if Bill and I built a rotary powerpak or slabsaw, absolutely, people would buy it. But then we get into (as far as my foresight allows) the same problem we have with the loopsaw. We are the ONLY manufacturer in the world that creates a concrete/asphalt saw that can cut a circle.... but we only sell, at max, 15 units a year. It is one of 2 units we make, that have the highest failure rates of our equipment fleet. Bossman wanna say we special cause we're the only ones that make it. I wanna say weeeeee...... special..... for being the only ones that make it. Not to mention there are only 3 states in the US that require traffic lights to have a circle loop of wire for the sensor. Other states have construction crews that adopt cutting a circle vs cutting a square (or hexagon to fake a circle) but it's a janky ass machine. Regretfully, some Candian Provences have starting cutting circles as well, therefore we "have to keep building them" because more than just IN,FL, and WA, want them.




    I'm not proof reading that. I'm drunk rambling

    What the fuck do you do to keep it cool. Rotaries don't really do air-cooled well in fact they don't even shed heat well when they're liquid cooled

    If you could make it small enough and affordable for a tiler, I'm sure that industry would be all over that

    Are you sure your AC is working correctly. Mine in my gray truck when I was in Arizona could freeze me out in 100+ weather easy

    if it's overcharged it's probably cycling on/off way too frequently to make any cooling progress

    Yeah if you overcharged it it ain't going to work right. Hard to lose all that energy through phase change if there's too much pressure to change phases
