Pinion milling on a Sherline CNC indexer mounted to the Clausing 24” milling machine. It has its advantages and drawbacks but I’m glad I invested in one!

Dear clients,
PLEASE READ:

I will NOT be responsive for a while, but Test of Time’s phone will still be on to call and leave a message!

In case you’re not local to Wisconsin or familiar with recent events in east central Wisconsin, the New London area and surrounding towns are experiencing historic and disastrous flooding. Many people have had their livelihoods damaged by these events including my wife and I who own a store in downtown New London. The worst part is that the water is not expected to crest until Saturday or so as of now, therefore is still rising.

My business Test of Time Horology is located at a DIFFERENT location and will NOT be affected by the flood waters. That’s good news!

My wife and myself as well as hundreds of others are working tirelessly volunteering wherever needed to help our community. We ask that you pray for us and the many, many others these disastrous floods have affected!

I thank all of my clients and followers here for your understanding and the support you’ve shown Test of Time!

I HOPE TO BE BACK AT THE WORKBENCH SOON!!!

Best Regards to you all, and if you’re also being affected by the Wisconsin floods, God bless all of you, and we’re in this together!

Steve
