Our laser cutter caught fire two weeks ago.
Our supplier had two in stock and could install in early December.
It took us a few days to consider some funding options.
Look at a few alternatives.
By Friday we were ready to place an order.
But in those few days the lead time had gone from early December to mid-January - they’d sold their last stock.
I spent the weekend looking at more alternatives.
They had a bigger, more expensive model in stock - it was too big.
We considered other suppliers.
They didn’t have it in stock either.
We considered other machines.
Then we settled on a like-for-like replacement.
And mid-January.
At least Paul will be able to get up to speed quickly with it.
