Sucessfully Rebuilt Two Brembana Spindles in a Week

REA has yet another success story rebuilding Brembana spindles. We had two arrive at our facility last week and our technician rebuilt both of them and turned them out within the week. Not very many repair shops can say this. Not only are we adept at Brembana but also rebuild Colombo,Fanuc, and HSD spindles as well. If you are looking for quick turn-around at a fraction of the OEM repair cost REA is the place to contact. We can provide phone support in some cases. We have a machinist on staff capable of fabricating most anything. So stop wasting time waiting on fancy, overpriced OEMS to get your spindle repaired. You will be pleased with our service, I guarantee it.

Gas Prices

We have been listening to all the so called experts talk about the economy and what has caused the recession. Surveys are showing a majority of the American people think the President is doing a good job trying to solve the problems. But I believe one simple thing is being overlooked on a regular basis and that is the price of gas at the pumps. Gasoline prices have an effect on everything in the economy. In food prices alone it effects the cost to grow, process, transport, and sell in the supermarket. It costs the American consumer more to drive to buy the groceries. The more we spend on gas the less disposable income we have to spend elsewhere. So the effect will trickle down and affect other consumer products.
We listen to the economists on Wall Street talk about how the oil companies stock is down because the price of crude oil is down, yet they are still making record profits. While they are making these record profits the American consumer is struggling to survive. Washington needs to take a look at the effect this is having on ALL AMERICANS. With the prices increasing at the pumps again we are going to see a prolonging of the so called recession we are in.

Resign or commit suicide

"......follow the Japanese model and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say I’m sorry, and then either do one of two things — resign, or go commit suicide.” ~ Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA)

I would also like to extend this to every one who supported N.A.F.T.A. & sent their companies over seas in the name of cheap labor and increasing profits.

AIG

Rolling Stone has a great article here about the government bailout of AIG.
Matt Taibbi breaks it down simple for everyone, and traces the crash back to the origin, or "Patient Zero" of the crisis.

He explains how and why there was no regulation, who was in charge, and how their greed destroyed an economy.

If you are having some difficulty wrapping your head around the whole economic crisis, this article will make it all clear.

More technical ability then the OEM pt.3

A few years ago a customer in Florida sent in a Baldor drive out of their Fadal mill after the OEM rep determined it to bad and wanted to replace the whole drive for an astronomical price. We found the cpu board to have some bad chips that were no longer available so we obtained a new CPU board from Baldor. Reassembled the unit, tested it, and sent it back. As it turns out Fadal had some custom mods to the software on these drives so the parameter listing is not the same. Updating the stock Baldor software to the Fadal Software is a simple matter of switching EPROMS and SRAMS. But the OEM rep was not a technical person and was wary of switching out the firmware chips. So with Chip programmer in hand and few spare chips in hand I boarded a plane for Florida and went to the customers location and reprogrammed the chips, tested the operation, all good for the spindle. Several other electronic problems were found in the machine and fixed. All simple ones. In one day we fixed more problems then the OEM Tech could not fix in the last few years, and repaired a drive for much less then the OEM wanted to charge
