Description

When Jim made the transition from kits to scratch building, he very quickly realized that he needed a different "kind" of tool, manufactured to a higher specification, and capable of much finer work, than those he had been using to build kits. He was able to buy sanders, but what he really needed - and immediately - was a small, precision saw. Many of the ones on the market at the time were plastic, and most would not cut to the tolerances he needed. With a 25 year career as a machinist, Jim thought “I can build a better mousetrap.”

He started designing with AutoCAD, and the first plans took him six months to complete. Then Jim moved the project into his machine shop - he worked nights perfecting his first 4” Table Saw, and that took another six months. At the end of a year of planning, design and testing, Jim had what he calls “the perfect saw” - one that is accurate to 1/1000th of an inch.

As most modelers do, Jim likes to talk about what he’s doing, and the word started to get around that Jim could engineer precision equipment that just wasn't available anywhere else. His first product for sale 2 years ago was a precision Draw Plate, but when modelers heard about his saw, Jim started receiving e-mails asking if he was selling them. Pretty soon, he had 25 orders … then 50 ... and Model Machines LLC was born.
