Greetings Sir,

I would like to inquire as to the support service you've received with this machine. The reason that I ask is because it was suggested to me by a mutual acquaintance of ours (Robert R.), that you have been unable to get the support that you were promised when you bought this machine.
This leads me to believe that this is the reason that you now want to sell this machine.

I happen to know the man that designed this machine and I believe it will perform as intended with the right support (from the designer, not the seller). I seriously doubt that you will get any assistance from the person that sold you the machine. It's my understanding that you have been unable to get in contact with the seller since he sold you this machine. This does not surprise me. Once he got your money, he was done with you. Sorry to be blunt but I happen to know everyone involved in this transaction and am only speaking-up now because I want to see you get everything you paid for. Fair is fair & right is right.

If you'd like to continue to pursue your dream of building a cue, I can put you (or Robert) in contact with the person that can make that happen, as far as the machine is concerned. Just PM me and I'll put you in touch with the right person. I know that you paid a considerable price for this machine. I'd like to see you get what you paid for.

KJ you should get your facts right before you speak. First off, if your refering to Jim he did not design this machine. He did in the begining have some basic ideas which I will explain below but as far money and investment there was none!!!!
As far as design goes I remember Jim one day walking into my house with a hand full of 8020 and placing these pieces on my pool table then a week later stoping back. At this time Robert and myself had a ruff working model at $400 a week which I paid Robert we spent 5 or 6 weeks till we had something moving back and forth. Is what Jim considered helping with a design? Dumping off a handful of parts and us putting them together and me paying 100% of the bills?
He somehow feels that he was a 50% partner that in my book requires 50% of the time and 50% of the the finacial responsiblitles, which he did NOT even attempt to do. I put into this project many thousands of dollars for parts, machining, advertising, booth space,and going to shows, traveling and Hotels. Jim's idea was to stop by from time to time for 45 mins to an hour then say he had to go home that he could only stay for a few mins, projects like this take hugh investments in time and money. An hour or two a month was not contributing anything. On top of that when he did stop over half the time we didn't discuss the CNC. Jim in his own words on many ocassions will admit he's a lazy guy that dosent want to work hard, thats not exactly my idea of a partner. So in a nutshell thats what happened. Back to Bill the fellow that bought a cnc machine he was given many chances to make this work. I even offered to have him come out and stay here we could never get our times together I will admit that but I never was trying to avoid him. Then he wanted me to come out there which is impossible for me to do because of the many things going on here I just cant leave. I offered tech suport with Jerry Powers for 2 months on my dime which was never promised up front, at this time Bill just said I think ill sell the machine. I told him the other day I'd be glad to help him sell it, but I have no one interested at this time. Now on to the money end of Bills transaction when purchasing this machine Bill keeps on trying to work the price down from $7000.00. I finally agreed and he purchased it for $6000.00. I dont care what company you buy machines from no one is going to walk someone with no cue building experience or knowledge what so ever through the process after buying a machine. lets say you buy a bridgeport from a machine dealer, are they going teach you to be a machinist in that transaction? I dont think so especially after giving you a substantal discount. I have sold 10 storm cnc machines to date and over 40 spray booths and many taig based cnc's plus countless other fitures and tools to many famous cue makers. Its funny how non of the other poeple have had any problems and if they did they were easily and quickly fixed. I am sure that every other machine dealer has had some issues in their history of making machines, someone not happy or wanting a refund. I feel for the dollar spent, i'll put my machines against anyones. This is just a cheap attempt again from KJ to throw me under the bus as he has done over the years many times. Well you should get your facts straight before you speak!! You have no idea what really happened only what you have heard i call that hear -say. Well now you know what took place. KJ I am sure not every person you have dealt with over the years is 100% happy I know this for a fact and I know you do good work. One thing about me is I call a spade a spade! Just because I dont like someone I will not knock their work or abilties. I have even tryed on several occasions to send work and or customers your way. In the world today you cant please everyone 100% anyone that says they do is only fooling themselves. Bill I am truely sorry you have had so much trouble with the whole deal if I do have anyone interested as said before I will send them your way for sure. agin sorry for any trouble

customer service

I'm also quick to hold a grudge with peoples less than stellar customer service. Let me also say that this is absolutely not directed toward any particular supplier of cue making supplies/equipment.

kinda realized that in this boom of cue building there are the newer guys who are jumping on the bandwagon of trying to accomodate the needs of cuemakers "as there are more than several needs". "and this is actually great for our industry" These particular folks probably don't have the experience required to accomodate all these overwhelming needs.

I for one am still extremely impatient, i want, what i want, when i want it and don't care about the cost.

Think there are alot of people out there who are trying to be all things to all people and thats next to impossible. They are also designing and producing products not yet ready for the marketplace and or focusing all there time on the next greatest thing and have no time for the customer.

IMO, there is no more than a couple companies that you can actually get online, order, pay and recieve your stuff within a few days "as it should be", the others of which there are alot of, you can get online and order and it takes forever, or you have to call them for a week straight before they even answer the phone to take your money. frustrating, especially if you cant proceed with something due to your inability to get it.

In my mind, if your a business...then act like one. Have hours of operation that accomodate customers, get a receptionist or assistant, etc., etc. Even if this means raising your prices.

just my 2 cents

also, LM....in the past i had a not so great experience that i wish never happened, i'm over it. I think you have alot of great products to offer everyone and alot that i would have already ordered had it not been for this experience. basically i'm tryin to clean my side of the street and put it behind me so that we can possibly do business.

OK, first of all, this is not about throwing you or anyone else 'under the bus'.
Nor would I consider it to be a 'cheap shot'. It was intended to be a legitimate question to Bill, the buyer of this machine and the one person that I haven't heard from yet. I've got 3 different people telling me things and it's not like I approached them so that I could involve myself.
I think you may have misconstrued my intent here because I have made some 'not so favorable' comments in the past; but not this time.

I also think that you may be talking about a different 'Robert' as the one I'm referring to is someone that I have done business with and he lives in NY. He and Bill play pool together on occasion. That's where that connection comes in.

Since these people have chosen to share their version of this matter with me, I thought it best to ask the one person that I haven't heard from, Bill. That would go long way to clearing the air and setting the record straight. Also, if Bill were having software issues, I would put him in contact with someone who makes his living with these types of problems, Jim. I know that you're very busy and this may not be at the top of your priority list. I'm just trying to get Bill some help, in case this is the reason that he wants to sell his machine.

As far as someone not being satisfied with my work, I'm totally unaware of this. I for one am VERY easy to get in touch with. If anyone ever has or had a problem, they haven't told me about it because if they had, it would have been rectified immediately.

Until Bill decides to share his side of the story, I'm washing my hands of this matter. How you handle your business is entirely up to you. It's your business.

[KJ Cues]

Thank You Sir, for your clarification regarding the work that I do.
If your original comment were taken in the context in which I did, it's intent could have easily been considered demeaning. A lot of things can get said in a heated discussion that probably would not have been said at any other time.

It was confusing to me because the last client you had sent to me to build a custom Predator shaft for, had taken the time to send me an email stating that he was both very satisfied and even impressed with my work. We all appreciate 'strokes' for our efforts at times. Even a junk yard dog likes a pat on the head every once in a while.

I truly hope that you and Jim can resolve any remaining issues on your collaboration regarding the Storm CNC. From what I read, it sounds as though these efforts are being made.

Good Luck with your current and future endeavors.

Wish everybody would kiss and make up, Lee is so busy typing he doesn't have time to answer my email or PM. guess he doesn't need the money. Ha. Ha. Just a little joke for the day.

Bill's Reply

My intention was not to cause a ruckous. I either wanted to get the machine running or sell it. Obviously I would rather get it running.

Lee, I didn't pay 6000 for the machine. I paid 6250 and drove to Michigan from N.Y. state to pick it up. I also supplied my own computer and I bought the Bobcad software which I thought I was promised.

You did offer to let me come out, but didn't answer my emails for months at a time. Never mind we couldn't get the dates right.

I KEPT A COPY OF ALL EMAILS IN CASE YOU DISPUTE ANYTHING I SAY.

you did offer me two months tech support on your dime, but when I went to take you up on it you didn't answer my emails for months again. Then you offered to help me sell it and when I say ok to that you say you haven't anyone interested.

For anyone out there, I will sell the machine for 5000$ if you pay shipping or pick it up. It's in new condition I never got it running.
It includes a license for the Bobcad which I paid for. Also instructional Cd's from "Bobcad which i paid two or three hundred for.
Lee, If you can't help me sell it I'd take you up on the tech support. Just tell me how and who to contact. Sorry this got out there, but I don't like inaccurate things being said.

kJ thanks

I'd like help if anyone can and I'd pay for the service too. I offered to pay Lee for what I was supposed to get for free but no response from him for a long time. Then he says okay and I never hear from him for a long time again.???I don't get it?? I just want to use the machine I bought.

Bill, this is the point of this mess. Contact me directly. I will get you up and running. There is no one else as qualified as I am. You where just unfortunate to buy a good machine from the wrong source. Or rather, someone didn't keep their promises and now they are the wrong source. I don't believe that you should have to suffer. Call me at 847-489-3904.

Jim.

 

[pocketpared]

This matter.

The op is a friend of mine. I have known him a long time. I was aware of this whole transaction from its inception since he sounded me out on various aspects. What JerseyBill says is entirely consistent with the emails I have seen and the discussions we have had.

As for you guys stepping in and offering to help him...it says everything about your character.

 

[WilleeCue]

Lee, IMHO you have bit off more than you can chew this time.
You sold someone something you do not have the knowledge or ability to support.
The right thing to do would be to offer a full refund to Bill.
I would have it shipped to MC2 and pay him to get it working and then offer it for sale to someone else as a fully functional unit.
You are very lucky that someone with Jim's vast knowledge of CNC, would be willing to do this for you.

I dont think you set out to screw anyone but you have the money, he has a machine that wont work, and you cant not tell him how to fix it.
Your actions are hurting you future in the business and it has already cost you one sale of a lathe that you might or might not be able to supply.
Chris Hightower will get that sale.
Again you have created desire for something then fallen short in supplying that demand.
Chris Hightower should thank you for the business you are sending him.

I hope you see that I am not being mean to you by saying these things here on the forum.
I am only offering, as a friend, my view on this issue.

I most certianly do have the ability to get this machine working if jim says differant he is misinforming you, he makes it sound like I am a total cripal I may not have his programing knwoledge but I am far from cripled this is a fully functional machine ready to work!! you say wont work, your wrong there! bill bought this machine not a cue building course! I did spend time with bill and a friend on the phone and we had the machine moving and working as for my lathes I most certinally have and can deleiver a lathe when ordered. We started with parts for 50 machines as far as Chris goes I remember just reading a post here where there was a 4 week wait for a lathe, 4 weeks to assemable parts? over 60% of our lathe is custom made, we did indeed make a supply of parts before we started these I offered to help bill sell this at valley forge or the tech suport its his choice im sorry you feel that way willie I do believe this is a case of buyers remoarse I think bill thought this would be as easy as pushing buttons but he soon found out there was a whole lot more I just dont feel like I mislead him, he is a grown man and made a purchase now he either needs to sell the machine or make a commitment to learn how to use it jim you have a few years at most in the cue world, I said cue world not promgraming but cue work I have been doing this for many years your out of line suggesting that im not qualified maybe in programing at your level yes I agree but cue making your wrong my firend even bill knows I spent many years learning and inproving I didnt come into this field and a few years later start blowing my horn that im the most qualified at anything I agree your most certianly have the skill to get bill going I am not saying you dont but too sugest I dont you very wrong I had this machine moving and running with bill and his CNC buddy via the phone
I never promised bill a cue building course or a cnc cousre he bought a cnc machine . Also I stand corrected bill you gave an addtional $250.00 in cash upon pickup I was going by your money orders you sent

Lee, why don't you call this guy again and work something out? You surely have his number. Seems alot of time is being wasted and most of it is spent blaming others. To depict a customer in the manner in which you are doing isn't helping you at all. The impression is that you've washed your hands completely of this now. Nobody wants to deal with a seller if they know that is your attitude. NOBODY.

Your little shot at Chris("4 weeks to assemble parts??") doesn't do you any favors either. It is also pretty hypocritical of you when you advertise something like a centering tool for a dowel(one of MANY examples), say "pics tomorrow", and then NEVER ever post photo or simply never produce.

This is about you and Bill and I strongly suggest you SIMPLY get back on the phone with him and resolve this.

 

[JerseyBill]

Lee, not only did I pay 6250 but I also supplied the computer which originally was your cost so you'd have to add that on to the sale price, also the shipping you saved was supposed to be included and I drove to Michigan and picked it up. The reason I did that was that you were going to work with me a few days and you said you were too sick to do so when I got there. Also I paid for the Bobcad which was part of the deal. WE already went over this and I sent you copies of the emails which I still have. Please don't mislead people.
Also you're so quick to respond to criticism but not to support. Now that we're out here I'll just say it.

I did not get what I paid for!! PERIOD
You ducked me afterwards! Period
You just don't want to be bothered OBVIOUSLY

You did help a few minutes but only to register the mach 3 and jog the machine......

You seem to be a great salesman, maybe a spin expert too.
I"M NOT going to respond to anymore of Lee's defense statements. I know what the truth is, so do our mutual friends! PERIOD
You're trying to make yourself the victim here, it didn't cost you ANYTHING! I'm the victim and I should have taken you to court like I was told to do.
Lee, GOOD BYE AND GOOD LUCK!

Lee, Not interested in selling machine at Hopkins show. Please forget I ever bought the machine from you. In fact I don't want to sell it at all.
I bought it to use it! Other people have offered to do what you should have. It should have been setup when I picked it up!! NO???

Jim, I'd love the help you offered. If it's still available?
I'll call you a.s.a.p. probably Monday coming.
Jim you are a man of high character and it won't go unrewarded.
Bill

 

[almarktool]

Bill,

Jim will help you out, he is def a great guy, not sure what you mean by the machine was not set up , but if that is the case, you might want to consider shipping it to Jim, so it can get dialed in and indicated square and true like it is supposed to be.

Reply to Mark

Mark ,
Jim graciously offered to do just that. After the show in Valley Forge we'll be getting together and I'm certain he'll assist in getting it working. He's very knowledgeable in this machine and the software too. Should have gone to him in the first place. I was not very bright in making that decision. I suppose you live and you learn. Only I thought I had learned that lesson already.!! Not setup means the wires were not connecting the controller box with the servo motors etc. The software wasn't registered for Mach 3, the machine hadn't been run as it was supposed to have been before I got there. And anything else you might imagine. WHAT A LET DOWN. AND I was supposed to have worked with the man that made it for the weekend, BUT he was too sick.
thanks, Mark

Mark ,
Jim graciously offered to do just that. After the show in Valley Forge we'll be getting together and I'm certain he'll assist in getting it working. He's very knowledgeable in this machine and the software too. Should have gone to him in the first place. I was not very bright in making that decision. I suppose you live and you learn.

That's a lot to do right there. I would hope at least it came with the settings for the leadscrews' movement. Or a person not experienced with cnc would be in tears setting it up.
