106 Our Customers Company:  Culin & Colella • Contact:  Ray Culin • Location:  Mamaroneck, NY • Customer Since: 1995 Market:  Architectural Milwork • Shop size:  10,000 sq.ft. • Web site:  http://www.culincolella.com Models:  Gantry III Model 130, RG Series 5996, Premium Class 5996 We  purchased  our  fi rst  router  back  in  1990  to  produce custom  round  tables.  It  was  a  small  machine,  a  Gantry  III Model 130, with a process area of 41” x 49”.  The machine immediately put us ahead of the competition because CNC automation was not yet standard in our industry. Prior to our fi rst machine, any complex shapes needed templates. Once we had the machine, we ran it for 8 hours per day producing the same shapes without templates. I specifi cally purchased the  machine  for  a  custom  millwork  job  that  we  had  bid  on and  then  were  awarded  the  contract.  The  job  consisted  of work in a round house; therefore, all the millwork had arched shapes that needed to blend with the utmost precision.  After completion of this yearlong job, we traded our smaller machine for a Techno Model RG Series 5996 CNC router, which could process  larger  parts.    We  have  been  running  this  machine between 8-10 hours per day for the last 14 years. Recently, it was becoming a concern that our 14-year old machine, which we rely on so heavily, may go down, crippling our 14-month backlog of jobs.  In December of 2005, I decided to purchase another machine, a Techno Premium Class 5996 CNC router. This would be for running all cabinet boxes, and as a backup to our RG.  Today, we have both Techno routers running between 8-10 hours per day, producing both our complex curved parts and our simple case work.
