A little
more about me. . .
I
am well acquainted with most of your tasks. That is a bold
and seemingly
arrogant statement, but it is rooted in 37 years
of hands-on experience,
over the entire "Diamond-Turning
and Diamond-Flycutting" discipline.

have been involved in:

the equipment, making the parts, testing the parts
|
| • |

moving, and upgrading the facilities, the
equipment and the processes |
| • |
Designing
and building new equipment (both for
manufacturing and test) |
| • |
Performing
and documenting detailed research such as (but
not limited to) Small
Business Innovative Research Grants;
Phase I and Phase II |
| • |
Designing

into reality |

Here's
how I like to work... For
starters, you should call and/or e-mail, or visit me, to develop
your belief that I can help. Then you may wish me to sign your Non-Disclosure
Agreement. Then, as a consultant, I ask for a Purchase Order made
out to Diamond-Turning Consulting Co. for a minimum of 4 hours at
$175 (U.S.) per hour ($700 minimum billing) for my services, (longer
contracts may allow for downward adjustment of my hourly rate).
We can then talk at length; as many calls, tasks, faxes, emails
and visits as fulfill the P.O.
Normally, I
invoice you at the end of the contract, however, in longer contracts,
about every 20 hours. Our first contract is billable
at Net 10 with a 50% up front charge; after that, Net 30 with 2% discount for net 10 is typical.
For foreign clients, payment by electronic deposit is required.
