Hey guys, lately I've been mulling over the idea of buying a used CMM and doing contract inspection on the side. I'm still a little green under the gills (only been programming about two years) so its a fairly tentative plan with no time frame yet, but just as an idea I figured I'd look into it a bit more. Anyone on here have any sort of experience doing this sort of thing? Obviously I'd get whatever certifications I'd need as well (ISO, etc.) but I'm trying to think of any unforeseen issues that might arise or how well I could find customers. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Yeah, I posted a similar thread on another site we all know and love. Suffice it to say I'm sufficiently discouraged ;P I mean I was looking at it as a long term goal but by the sound of it, it's just not really feasible.
its really is not. Unless you have enough funds to stay afloat, I would say at least $100,000 not including the expenses of the shop.
