Forrest Summers HPL Enterprises 972-740-4164 McKinney TX: "I am a small business owner that has a metal fabrication shop specializing in strength and conditioning equipment, and tactical entry tools for police and the military. Unfortunately in the last few years, the majority of my day consists of dealing with companies that have zero interest in my business, or talking with someone in India that has zero interest in solving my problem in McKinney, Texas. When I talk with a vendor, I expect that I am going to have to wait on hold, use a menu on the phone that constantly loops back to the beginning, and then talk with someone that doesn't really care if I use their product or not. I always try to be polite, and kind, but it gets old. It is something that I wake up knowing that I am going to have to do. I always stress customer service with my employees, and just ask them to treat everyone with respect, and to patiently answer all their questions, regardless if they purchase one of our products. That has two benefits, the first is that someone had a positive interaction, and the second is that they might come back to our shop when they need something in the future.

In the 14 years I have been in business, I can count on one hand the companies that I use that I can talk with a live person, that is truly an expert in their field. Someone that is willing to answer my questions, problem solve with me, even if I don't buy something from them at that exact moment. Your company is now on that list. We changed from a 350mm cold saw to a 275mm. We initially ordered a blade from your company, and were able to get several thousand cuts before it started to dull. When I was going through some of our shelves, I saw that we had 5-6 350mm cold saw blades left over. I packed one up, wrote a note explaining the material we cut, and sent it off to your company. It took 3 days to get there, it arrived on Friday 6/21/13, and Monday 6/24/13 at 8:07 I received a call from Alvin. He offered to swap my 350mm blade out for a new 275mm blade for the same cost as cutting down my 350. Hey in 14 years of business, I am used to shops saying my core was not usable, and I would have to purchase one of theirs. But the kindness Alvin extended to me greatly impacted my day. Again, it was a kind gesture, from a real person, that was an expert in his field, that wanted to help me solve my problem in a timely fashion.

You run a top notch organization, that has earned my business. We are a small shop, but for all our cold saw needs, we will use your organization. Tell Alvin thank you for me."

LLC 660 885 3258 Clinton MO: "I'm just writing to tell how much of a help Andrew Reckling has been with the troubles Ive had with a used machine I have purchased for my newly formed small business. He has gone above and beyond what I would consider aid to help Jerry Steele and I to get said machine running. You have a great employee in Andrew as well as the technicians who have helped him. Although said machine is not running and still no reason why, Andrew has been a great help in trying to figure the saw out. If my company had the money to purchase a new CPO 315 HFA saw I would not hesitate at all to purchase a Scotchman. "

I want to thank you for the hat and shirt, which I will proudly wear while teaching welding labs. This fall will be the start of my 31st year teaching welding at Bismarck State College. I have spent 30 years teaching college students and building trades apprenticeship welding. This year I will switch from on campus to industry training, using our mobile welding lab. I have used Scotchman equipment since day one, and know that it stands up to the test both in schools and in industry. Thus, I recommend it to everyone.

CW-2 Ron McCarty National Guard Repair Center of West Virginia Red House WV: "We have two pieces of Scotchman equipment at the CSMS in RED house WV. One Ironworker and a Cold Cut Saw. We are a National Guard repair center for the state of WV which all of the fabrication comes through our shop. We like the heavy, well built quality of Scotchman machines, not like the junk from Taiwan or China. So far no problems with either piece. We just bought a new carbide blade for the saw and are waiting for the HHS blade to wear out first. Keep up that fine US quality!"

Naturally, Scotchman and ALL Employees we deal with there, and our Distributor named Icon Machine. "stuff" can happen in any fabrication shop. If it does NOT happen then you are not pressing the limits of fabrication or design engineering. When there have been issues with the equipment, Scotchman has come thru. Either with an option to modify a unit or stating that we have exceeded the limits of that specific machine. Sometimes even suggesting other mfg. machines. Scotchman is an honest team who "partners" up with their customers.
Gee - they even know what "Old Glory" is. Thank You Team Scotchman."

Rod Brakhage Wheeldock LLC 405-743-8080 Stillwater OK: "I own a small manufacturing company that makes aftermarket motorcycle products including wheel chocks and center stands for Harley Davidson motorcycles. We also fabricate parts for local companies.
I purchased my 5014 CM in 2005 and we have used and abused it every day since placing it in service. The thing is bullet proof and has been one of the best investments I have ever made. Before purchasing I had looked at two other competitors but chose the Scotchman because of the over arm feature. We use the 12" break for quite a few of our formed parts and this machine is very easy to change between punching operations and breaking.
When I have called Scotchman for replacement punches or special tooling I have learned to just ask for Alvin, and he normally get parts shipped that day and at very reasonable prices. Alvin knows all things Scotchman and is great to deal with.
I recently met the President, Jerry Kroetch and several other Scotchman folks at the Sturgis motorcycle rally where they were displaying their products across from where we were selling our products. Everything about Scotchman is about old school value and quality. After getting to meet Jerry, his family and quite a few of his employees, I am extremely proud to have one of his machines in my plant and will own a Scotchman saw when it is time to replace my Hyd-Mech.
Keep up the good work guys, you make buying American the great experience it should always be."

Not a day goes by that I don't find a person visiting my shop and asking questions about my ironworker & I am more than happy to give them a demonstration of the different things the machine is capable of doing. Keep up the good work! No other ironworker on the market comes close to Scotchman!!!"

Andrew Fritsch Bourbon County High School 8597076111 Paris KY: "I teach welding in the agriculture department here at Bourbon County High School. The Porta Fab 45 is the best piece of equipment that I have bought in my 8 years of teaching. Since we bought the ironworker, the use of oxygen with the torch has decreased to less than half of what we usually used. I love everything about this machine. It's easy to use, makes precise cuts, is dependable, and most of all it is very safe. My goal in teaching a welding class is to expose students to proper techniques, technology, and tooling within the welding profession. The Scotchman Porta Fab 45 makes my job 100 times easier. I have a lot of students who say,"I wish my dad's shop had one of these!""

Often I have little choice but to purchase import machinery and end up disappointed in the quality. This year, with the assistance of additional grant dollars, I was able to purchase a Scotchman Porta-Fab 45. My students and I have been incredibly impressed with the quality of workmanship, design and instructional material that accompanied the machine. It is refreshing to be able to use machinery of this quality and to speak with knowledgeable, friendly support staff. Thank you for your high standards and excellent quality all around!! We will tell our friends."

Tim Smith Tim Smith Custom Service 904-477-5234: "I bought my Scotchman 50-ton Ironworker used in 2004. I called Scotchman and found out that it is a 1980 model. They faxed me an Owners Manual and Parts List for a 24-year old machine. And yes, they still support it with parts and tooling.

The machine still works like new. I have added a 12" brake since I've had it and use it all the time to fab brackets and anything that needs bending. I even use it for some straightening needs.

I worked on fabrication and repair for 30 years before starting my own business 6 years ago and I think back to all the times an Ironworker would have saved so much time and labor. They do pay for themselves and hold their value very well."

Wally Whelchel Wally's Refrigeration 573-348-3036: " I bought my Scotchman ironworker used in 1999. My company does commercial refrigeration service and installation work, ranging in size from small convenience stores to large grocery stores and ice plants. My machine is a 40-ton, 230 volt, single phase model. This makes the machine very portable to take to the jobsites. At the jobsite, instead of making all of our brackets and hangers out of Unistrut or B-line metal, and using a messy, noisy cut off saw, we just shear and hole punch stock angle iron, and if necessary use our mig welder to field fabricate parts. By doing so, we save money and our installations are customized for each customer. The ability to custom build brackets, hangers, etc., brings to the jobsie a higher standard of workmanship that our customers have noticed and appreciate."

It is my opinion that Scotchman manufacturers the best machine on the market. It is dependable, user-friendly, and low-maintenance. With all the attachments available, this machine adds versatility, convenience & simplicity to my shop. I just can't say enough good things about Scotchman equipment. We have used the 40-ton in our industrial business for about 15 years. As our company grew, we needed an additional machine to help us complete some of our large, short-notice jobs on time. That's the reason we bought the 50-ton unit (with a few more options on it). I would recommend Scotchman equipment to any business, large or small. "

We have sheared thousands of coupons for practice, and the machine is phenomenal! We have replaced the wear pads only once, and flipped the blades several times and it handles the use of students 13-18 years old.
I recently acquired a 6509 (sn# 4705M493) shear for myself personally and it needs some TLC. It sat out in a yard in the weather for several years. I am working on getting it running and looking good again. "

Dexil Rold Rold's Machining 509-325-6746 Spokane WA: "I purchased this saw for one job I do routinely. These are small stainless steel parts done 8,000 at a time.
They are 1/8" x 3/8" x 1" with two countersunk holes in each part. They have to be plus or minus .005 in length. It used to take me about 20 hours to saw them. I make them in strips of 24 inches.
I have altered your saw jaws so I can stack eight lengths at a time threaded on their holes and saw them while I am doing another operation on them, so now I have no sawing time in them at all, and they all turn out within tolerance.
I do prefer American made products, but it is almost impossible to find things American made any more."

Number one: our local dealer worked 100% to provide a better machine at a comparable price. During these tough economic times, this was a big plus.
