An in-stock LeBlond machine is the best card for Phil to play, even if he doesn’t realize he is gambling.
Phil is a machinist who supplies parts for the automotive industry.
Uptick in Business?
He expects business to pick up with a flurry of recent trade deals, especially the latest with the European Union that “halves the existing tariff rate on Europe’s auto sector,” according to CNBC.
Why is Phil gambling?
He knows he needs a lathe for the new business on the horizon. He has a 2025 budget that is “use it or lose it.”
Buy equipment by year-end or lose the funds.
The tariff situation still has Phil on the fence. He’s considering a used lathe on eBay.
This is where Phil doesn’t realize he’s gambling.
You don’t know what you’re getting with a used machine. What if there’s a problem with a headstock gear? That could cost thousands of dollars.
Are parts for a non-LeBlond even available? We provide OES parts all the way back to 1938.
Competitors?
Replacement parts are unlikely if the machine is older than this millenium.
Phil’s best hand to play is to buy an in-stock lathe from LeBlond. A great number of our available machine inventory has zero tariff charges.
With new LeBlond machinery, Phil has zero surprises. If something goes wrong, he has a warranty.
One-year parts and service. For shops outside of the United States, two-year parts protection.
Phil’s winning hand includes CNC equipment.
LeBlond’s In-Stock Educational Machinery Is an Ace in the Hole
Suppose Phil is an educator. He has a grant that runs out by year’s end to buy new equipment for students to learn on.
He could play a winning hand like the Midwest school that grew up on LeBlonds from the 1950s. They liked the quality. Liked the parts support.
This school bought seven educational lathes to auger in the next generation of machinists.
LeBlond’s Ace High: More Than Lathes
Back to Phil as the machinist for the shop supplying parts to the auto industry.
He needs more than lathes. A surface grinder would be nice to apply a smooth finish to a workpiece.
Phil doesn’t want to deal with the hassle of negotiating with multiple suppliers. All the exhausting details with shipping and other logistics.
Again, LeBlond is Phil’s best card. We are a one-stop supplier for all your machine tool needs.
Need a band saw? We have both horizontal and vertical. Both in stock with no tariff drama.
If Phil buys multiple in-stock machines, he gets volume pricing discounts.
How about a drill press in case he has to punch out holes?
LeBlond has it all with lead times guaranteed with end-of-year shipping.
Phil knows buying anything new can be a gamble. Buying in-stock equipment from LeBlond deals him the best card.
