A former shop owner selling the stuff he used to buy
Donnie Carr owned a machine shop for seven years and worked as a sales engineer for Mazak and C.R. Onsrud before starting Pappy Tool & Machine Co. He supplies small shops, startups and growing operations across the US and Canada.
He carries one brand per category, which means real product knowledge instead of a catalog: carbide end mills, coolant, way oil, hydraulic oil, bandsaw blades and oil skimmers. He also handles JLH bandsaws, new CNC saws and used CNC equipment.
If you have ever felt like the support dried up after the second sales call, call him. He will tell you straight whether he has the right product for your application.
