I read on another list that production is moving to Wisconsin. Service and support will still be in the same building via MAG Maintenance Technologies.
As far as discounted machines go.......
The owner of my shop asked me if I would like a new Hyundai Kia SKT21LMS turning center. While there my be other machines I would prefer, I was intrigued by the question, since we have slowed down a bunch the past four weeks. He said he was getting it at "almost half price". I'm not sure how accurate that is but one thing I do know is that he must be getting one helluva deal. Of course, when times are good I've seen salesmen crawl out of his office, collapse on the floor in the fetal position and commence to drooling and shaking uncontrollably.
