Craig and I have shared a close working relationship since 2017. I am the manager of the CNC department for American Tool & Mold and when I met Craig he was a sales representative with Maruka, a machine tool distributer. We ended up working out a deal to purchase two Yasda YBM 640v CNC jig bores, a System 3R workpartner +1 robot, twenty pallets, work holding, a heat shrink system and tool holders that deal ended up close to a million dollars. During this time I would say Craig and I, both being from Michigan originally and from similar backgrounds, developed a friendship. Since that first project with the Yasda cell, we have worked together on several other projects. We at ATM purchased a Kitamura 12G Bridge Mill from Craig and he has also been diligent in helping us market some of our older equipment for resale. I don’t continue to work with Craig because of our friendship, quite the opposite, I think we have a friendship because of his hard work, honesty & work ethic. I look forward to working with Craig for many years to come.

Craig of Fastech CNC Systems has been a great partner for buying and selling CNC equipment. 8 years ago he sold a swiss when our product mix changed and turned around and helped us get a great price on a new CNC mill. In March 2021 he sold a high end 4 axis 2 year old Brother with 27000 rpm which allowed us to replace that with a new high torque 4 axis Brother. Sale took under 2 weeks.

I have known Craig for over 15 years in the industry. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and gets the job done for his customers. His ability to find and help a client who is looking for a machine with certain nuances, is his specialty. He goes the extra mile to work for the customer when others give up. We met in Michigan while we both were working in Automotive. During our time working together, he met challenges head on. I would recommend him for many situations that benefit the customer. He is a Professional and serves his clients well. Are you looking for machine advice? I have called Craig many times to get his perspective on certain machines, and he has helped me to help my customers. Thanks Craig for all you do!
