Everything

I am joining LF Spare Parts to develop and grow their North American operations. Working with technicians and anyone who wrenches on machines has always been where I belong. With LF's unrivaled parts inventory and newly introduced delivery capabilities that reduce delivery times to as little as 48 hours, this new position represents a great opportunity for both me and the service companies with whom I have worked for years. After nearly 4 years, my Variable Speed Grinder patent application has been approved for issuance. The pending application (US15019869) is still online and final wording will be posted soon. It is now time to get back into the industry that allowed me to come up with all of this.The main body of work is coming to a close on the development side of our profiling grinder (the final version of the CPU's are being finished now) and the latest (final?) revision of the prototype will be ready to assemble. I am not, however, a manufacturer and hope these innovations will find a useful home with someone who is.
