Xometry???

LOTT · Aug 3, 2022

I almost feel bad that we caught Darrin/VW/AS so quick this time. Kind of a let down, like guessing the end of a book too soon.

The AS9100D personality was so much better done. Months spent posting the wonders of ISO and building up trust to sell some stolen Haas's, and he even posted genuinely helpful info a few times (amid the blacked out screenshots, of course).

And this time all we get is some Xometry bragging.... We should blame Biden, high gas prices, inflation, and lazy scammers.

Totally caught me! Lol

Xometry bragging? I shared my experience about one week of very good Xometry work and clearly stated this isn’t every week and there are some terrible priced jobs. Totally bragging right there!

I shared a screen shot of the amount of work I’ve done for Xometry, over 4.5 years. $1.8 million. Divide that by the years and weeks, averaging $7k a week, that’s nothing to brag about. Any good machinist running two machines should be hitting them numbers as an employee.

It's not about the numbers, that's irrelevant. What I'm pointing out is the personality trait of aggressively telling everyone numbers, then "proving" them with redacted screenshots.

One screenshot, not screenshots and do you even know what the redacted portions show? Direct job information an image of a part and job number and information that would clearly show my Xometry account information. Most customers don't like information shared on any sort of social media.

The information that you were able to see was relevant to numbers, it showed my earliest job shipped date and total amount of money made and amount of jobs I have done for Xometry, relevant information.

I'll upload it again for you with key information circled.

As you can see ALL JOBS is selected, and to the right SORT BY: Shipped on: Earliest First - that would be showing the FIRST job I did for Xometry and shipped on Jan 10, 2018. This would give you the timeline of 261 Jobs completed and $1,886,892.17 earned shown at the top circled.

Again, details are immaterial. It's your actions. It's almost like a psychosis, where if you keep piling on details people will believe you.

Anyone else, am I off track? It's just way too much of a coincidence.

I just pulled an image from Google on Xometry, this isn't completed work, but as you can see the layout as to what information would be in the general area, maybe it'll give you an idea of the information that was redacted, totally irrelevant information on any sort of numbers. Probably could have left it uncovered but as some people stated earlier in this thread, Xometry watches social media, they are really strict on the NDA and sharing information on social sites.

Just curious, you think for some reason I am, I don't even know what you think I am doing, trying to sell Xometry? And what my numbers are unrealistic, everything is a lie?

Scroll back to the first page and read nateacox post. He states he started in 2018 with Xometry, same year I did. Shared his totals as well, done significantly more than I have in the same amount of time and even states he did $1 million last year with Xometry alone! $20k a week from Xometry alone....is he a shill as well?

Like I said, my numbers are absolutely nothing to brag about, they would be numbers I would expect any good machinist employee to be doing for a decent shop.

And again after I don't know how many times I can say it, my average of $15k is not only from Xometry, I have multiple customers, Xometry is about 50% of that.

I didn't mean by their hourly pay, I meant for their company.

Employee running two machines billed out at $100/hr at 40 hours a week. $4000 per machine x 2 machines = $8000

A lot of variables there of course, shop dependent, location, type of work, etc. that $100/hr can increase or decrease.

2 machines running for 8-12 hours a day can easily produce $7k a week.

You do really struggle to read, comprehend and follow a conversation and continue to say irrelevant shit. Where did I say I was doing multi million dollar orders out of a two car garage?

I said ASD9100, you sure took that hook line and sinker. Thanks guys for the links, that was a long read especially as you follow the life of Darin on the internet. Whether you are Darin or not you are an obvious poser. If you Google the address this Darin guy used on business filings it lead to a property that at most had a two car garage to be used as a shop. I can read and comprehend just fine, you have already been tripped up, keep digging.

That is some great math. 100% up time, how impressive!

Nate Cox says he has 13 machines, and obviously a workforce. You claim to be a one man band with a couple machines, earning over half what he does over the same time period. A one man band has a high percentage of indirect work hours in the typical month, and anyone with a lick of common sense knows someone seeking out a vendor for long running jobs isn't likely to go through geometry. Unless someone is an OEM,
scrambling for work, programming, fixturing, setting up, ordering supplies, cleaning parts, shipping, billing, etc, will catch many hours of spindles not turning, on a one man operation. You probably should not try to sell your story to people who know better.

This is where I call :icon_bs:

. Once there was a claim that parts didn't need secondary handling because "everything is chamfered on the machine", I decided this is either a fabricated story or a wild exaggeration. Every part needs something; even it it's just a quick wash and bag-n-tag.

Xometry formal inspections take a minimum of 20 minutes per line item; even if the part is stupid simple. And once you become a premium partner, the vast majority of jobs require FAI and VQC. Just the burden of cleaning, bagging, inspecting, and shipping 800k in parts every year is probably more than most people can do alone, especially if they are also handling all of the other things required to run a business. Then to claim you are doing it by yourself in less than 40 hrs/week? Doubtful.

If the claims by anonymousmachinist are true, I can assure anybody reading that the work/income ratio is absolutely off the charts, and easily beats any other job shop I know of.

You probably could not even attain that work hour/income ratio doing 100% high end medical work let alone selling to a middle man operation like Xometry. I hope the heavy handed mod isn't working this section, this could be entertaining.

Never claimed there was no secondary handling, everything being chamfered on the machine is in no way implying parts aren't getting a quick wash or bag and tag.

Again, you clearly didn't read, it's not $800k/year in Xometry parts. I clearly stated a majority of my work is large heat sink parts that have run times, which would also be as to why I said I am in the shop for around 8 hours a day, because my machines are running picking away at heat sink fins so they can run unattended for 12-18 hours a day and within them 8 hours accomplish a whole lot of that secondary handling.

latheman78 · Aug 4, 2022

One guy doing $400k a year from Xometry alone is far fetched. Then you are making the same doing heat sinks? I am sure there are hoards and hoards of businesses buying heat sinks made from solid stock, do note you said your machines spend endless hours cutting heat sink fins. Strange that a Google search turns up nothing about a heat sink machining business in Kansas, in the first couple pages. Most places take off the shelf extrusions and or custom castings to make heat sinks out of. Of course no doubt there are many customs and prototypes made from solid, but if you are doing them at the size and dollar volume you claim, you would have to have a name for yourself.
32 hour cycle time? Cutting aluminum? That would probably take one man to handle the chips. Keep telling stories, it is entertaining.

Well for one, I never claimed to be a heat sink machining business, again if you go back and read, I have a local customer that I do heat sinks for. These are custom heat sinks.

Feel free to share your email here, I'll send you the model of the last one I made and please do tell me how you could machine it in less time and while you're at it, shoot out a number. I'll even pay you just for your consult.

I showed you the Xometry screen shot, you want me to send you a screen shot of my bank account, you just sound like a jealous little bitch that wishes he could do something more in this industry.

latheman78 · Aug 4, 2022

Anyone can Photoshop a screenshot, why would someone be stupid enough to send you their e-mail? They would probably end up getting spammed into oblivion. Why would someone be jealous of an internet poser? Or even a stranger they will never meet? I usually say "Good for them", " I wish I would have thought of that.", when I see someone making bank. You are a poser, unless Einstein and the Flash had their sperm fused and it was implanted in Wonder Woman, and you came out. You are fitting the mold of that Darin guy they left links to and then you just follow the internet trail. I have a little extra time on my hands, I believe I have Covid, so I am going to take it easy for awhile. Waiting for the tests to come USPS.

The more people that doubt your BS, the angrier you get, just like AS9100D. aka VWFullCup, TangentCNC, Speng, and now

anonymousmachinist. Did I miss any of your aliases?

latheman78 · Aug 4, 2022

You did claim that heatsink machining allowed you 32 hour cycle times and a lot of lights out machining. You need to start writing down the stories you tell.
