It's Twins

It's here!! It took 3 days to clear the workshop to make space, 5 weeks on a boat from the US, and 4 months from ordering to delivery. But now we have a shiny new Haas ST15, sitting in the workshop next to its baby brother the ST10.

It's bigger!!
The '15 has a higher capacity compared to our original ST10, so we can now make it bigger, better and make more of them.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we make 98% of our items here in the UK, as this means we can maintain the quality of our products without compromising on their usability.




Arrival - not sure if the truck was big enough!!



At least it was well packed.



Tried not to upset the neighbours, but we did take over the Car Park - and the road outside.



Removal of the old machine, this was made in 1995 and still worked on most days.


Things are easier with a big forklift.



Not sure if it's going to go through the fire exit!! Getting the '15 into the building with only 7cm clearance in the corridor was a bit fun, with with the experts from abbey it slotted in.



The twins are finally settled in their new home. I think they are going to be called 'Ant' and 'Dec'.

Just a day of commissioning to got and we will be able to rock and roll.

Want to see it all compressed into a minute or so...
