    Bunny Buster selling designs

    Bunny buster is shutting up shop and selling their designs.
    Any engineers feel like adding something to their business?

    Machine issues from what I heard
    Pity as they were a really nice can

    His cans were/are a work of art, far from the backyard farmer type junk you see all too often in NZ

    Machine dramas??!!?? Do you mean actual problems with their CNC machines performance or operations-wise?? I thought they were running fairly new Doosan machines which were only installed in Feb 2012. (A Mynx DNM650 CNC mill, and also a PUMA 280LM CNC mill-turn lathe). Less than a year later there surely can't be an issue with the machines - they are a top brand bit of gear (NOT cheap.....) The NZ agents also have their own service tech guy for any maintenance/breakdown issues.

    Maybe over-capitalised a bit too much???

    He had a problem with a SS bar coming loose & it smashed the pump drive out the back of the lathe, it took for ages to get it repaired weeks & weeks/months, bits from Germany etc etc no body to repair it etc etc .

    That sort of carry on can really wreck your business......

    I also remember something about a "nodding head" on the Lathe..... also poor form.....
