Cutting Tool Engineering (CTE) is seeking machine shop candidates to be featured in an episode of our new Shop Ingenuity video series, which debuted earlier this year. The series is open to any shop that would like to share its story of shop innovation.

Not sure if your shop should be featured? Check out our first episodes to help you decide:

• A Dream Come True
  Ray Tejeda, who owns Dream Tools Inc., talks about the motivation behind his patent-pending Dream Chuck Stop in the third episode of Cutting Tool Engineering's Shop Ingenuity video series. Tejeda demonstrates how his chuck stop provides clearance for cutting tools to machine through a part.
• Keep the Spindle Turning
  A South Carolina shop purchased extra pallets to cut down on changeover time and ensure that it keeps the spindle turning as much as possible.
• Turning back time
  In the debut episode of the Shop Ingenuity video series, CTE visits with CNC Supervisor Jeffrey Johnson at Tuttle Manufacturing in Barrington, IL. Johnson set out to improve the production time for a part that the shop has been running every other month for a customer who continues to increase the order each time.

If you think your shop should be featured in the CTE Shop Ingenuity video series, please contact Dennis Spaeth, CTE's electronic media editor, at (847) 714-0176 or [email protected].
