Please help with a few questions

Have you seen this?

Or is that where your initial question came from?

It would also be really polite to say why you are asking these questions. At the moment, it almost sounds like someone in the business doing some undercover research work, and I'm sure you're not doing that.

I actually haven't seen that survey, and I thank you for sharing it with me.

Like I said in my previous reply, I am not in this industry at the moment.
I am looking to get into it with a unique high tech business venture, and this is why I need help understanding the basics.

For starters I really want to understand, how and why exactly this market is so fragmented, and get a somewhat accurate scope of the market's segments.

Here is mostly the hobby end which has a problem with innovation and has became stuck in the mud.
-
Last time I looked...
-
Stepper motors were all 200 steps/rev
-
There was no clear distinction between milling machines and wood routers.
-
Everybody was using antiquated MACH3 software that required a computer running Windows XP all to itself.
-
If you could come up with a tool bit that could chew through steel at enormous revs and feeds without benefit of flood coolant and without requiring much side support from above despite it's 6" shank... you would have a winner.
-
At the other end of the spectrum engineers will chose tooling by whatever has worked for them in the past.
-
When they have a problem first they will try resharpening old faithful more often while they will cast about for a miracle cure, hoping technology has moved on enough to save them.

Who'd have thought it?
Mach3 bashing shoehorned into an answer ;-)
Nice!

machinestarter,



You remind me of my old boss. He did not have a bloody idea of something but he was pretty sure that his intelligence will reveal him the right way to do things and the secrets in any branch . So he was quite sure he would succeed without real life knowledge and experience.

Well, guess what, he did not. He just spend his money and many peoples time.



Maybe if nobody here answers you, you should go to Fiver.com and ask there


Be serious please. Do your job. Or pay sb to do it properly.

But i will give you a hint though:

This market/and any/ works like this: X needs STH so A who knows of that need , starts providing it. So A is already in the chain. he is the chain. All else comes later.

The market does not work like that: B has STH and searches to whom to sell it.

Not to speak of C has nothing, does not know how market works and does not know how and to whom to sell it
