A free buyer's guide
The technical half of quotes for these machines tends to be similar and the paperwork looks the same. The differences only show in the answers to twelve questions few buyers ask, because nobody ever told them to. We wrote them down, together with what a good answer sounds like and when to prick up your ears.
Stand-alone machines start at EUR 40,000. If you need to weld plastics in smaller volumes, a separate page points you where to look.
What you will do with it
Ask us the same questions. That is the point of it.
Twelve questions in four groups: the machine, your part, what comes after the warranty, and delivery and money. Each one has a story from practice, what a good answer sounds like, when to prick up your ears, and what that question cost the companies that did not ask it. At the end two lists you can tick off at the negotiating table.
And two appendices:
At the front all twelve questions are on one page, including what each of them cost the companies that did not ask. You can tear that page out and take it to the meeting.
The whole guide is on one page and there is nothing to sign up for. It opens in the browser and prints straight from it, without the menu and without the footer.
It runs to about twenty minutes of reading. If you only have five, read the table of twelve questions at the front and stop there. That alone is worth more than the rest.
What you will not find in the guide
Manufacturer names or an advert for a particular machine. The questions work on any quote, whoever sends it, including us.
Prefer it on paper? The guide is also a PDF, with the twelve questions on a single page to tear out. Download PDF
The guide is good for comparing quotes. For a specific part it is faster to send a photo or call.
Better still, call. Five minutes on the phone will tell you more than the whole site. Petr Bernard answers it.
