As you know, we have been some different times of industry shifts. This most recent one we are seeing is apparently the phase of COVID people getting checks and using them to start a shop and now phasing out (selling their equipment). Still as always, a revolving door.

Best part is you can look them up.

My post was more so referring to all of those NEW small shops that popped up during COVID and selling that equipment a year or so later.  For (these businesses) it was more of a good business move at the time to take advantage of the loans during covid. IMO.

We’d all have a lot more blessings if our industry was HONEST and left negative reviews instead of withholding them to be polite.

That was always my biggest gripe with the industry magazines. Being afraid to bite the hand that might feed them, they were always cheerleaders, and eschewed honest criticism.

365F for 50 seconds should not be undercuring on a 12' Sprint 2000, that is surprising.  Was it a t-shirt? Hoodie?

We run 380F for less time.  We do have a fleece setting too though...
