Advertising CNC Machine Time

[David M]

We're setting up a factory in China and I'm actually moving over there next week to oversee it. We're taking delivery on a new CNC router and the machine will have a lot of spare time for outside work. We'd like to hook up with a company or two looking for low cost 3d or 2d CNC work.

Is there a place on the internet where companies advertise machine time?

Thanks for your help.

So sad...there goes more US jobs overseas! You should be proud!

I really think some of us americans are so stupid as to sell ourselfs out of our own jobs!

Kudos to you Tim.

[David M]

And in the process more better paying jobs created in America...

[Tim Wiltse]

Funny...things must have changed how it works... I didn't know that by taking jobs overseas it really makes more/better jobs here Nice too that your first post on this site is you telling how your taking work away US makers...nice!

[David M]

Yep. That's how it works. Our company wouldn't even exist without cheap labor. And if that were the case, then maybe I'd have to compete with you for your job. Instead, we're creating jobs for Americans and profits for American owners. We've never laid anyone off, and the Americans involved are not making manufacturing wages...

Trade increases wealth, but it's an uneven increase. There are winners and losers in trade...try to be a winner.

This is not a whack your statement Tim or you.

But I would like to re-phrase it to this.

I really think some of us Americans are so stupid as to BUY ourselves out of our own jobs!.

These lost jobs are as much or more a result of Americans just not willing to pay for out own products.

[Tim Wiltse]

That's what I was trying to say Ken..jsut worded it wrong!

Later,
Tim

I'm not an American but we have the same issues starting here with companies moving overseas.

However, I don't think this thread in the RFQ forum is the time or place. There are plenty of threads about this specific topic. David is a businessman looking for advice, and he is doing nothing that others are not doing.

Unfortunately David I can't advise on anywhere to advertise, but I hope that someone else can help.

I understand that this is an emotive topic for people, but I also hope that cnczone won't become one of those sites where people are not permitted to speak freely because they do or say something that others disagree with and are immediately shot down.

Everyones free to express their opinions, please express them in the correct area of the site. I'm not a moderator so you can feel free to tell me to stick it where the sun don't shine....although that'd pretty much prove my point. This is just my thoughts on the topic. M2c.

thkoutsidthebox,
Unfortionatly David's post is already lost to other, lets say content.

While I personally do not have any problems with Davids plans, and I do find fault with todd71 's post, lets get real here, there is just no way a post like Davids is going to go quietly. If one plays with bees he better expect to get stung

Lets see.
1) Slave labor http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti...8/191237.shtml
2) No freedom of speech http://www.cecc.gov/pages/virtualAca...hprivilege.php
3) No free press http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1
4) One party rule.http://www.hrw.org/reports/2000/china/

What wonderful place to open a factory. I just believe we should be using our economic buying power to support and reward democratic change. And China , in my opinion,has not come far enough from its totalitarian roots to be rewarded. How big does the trade defict have to grow before you realize we are ALL losing. Whats the true price of that discount?
