Vertical Band Sawing for Local Manufacturer

turer

A Dake VH-40 vertical band saw cutting bumper mounts for a local manufacturer. The mounts are cut in half for quality testing. Once the cut is made, the interior powder coating can be observed to determine process integrity. Cutting lot runs are typically 20 – 50 bumper mounts.

Do you have a small or large run cutting, machining, or assembly operation that doesn’t make economic sense to do in-house? Dake may be the answer to your need. Contact us for more information about our saws, machine shop, and assembly departments.

Dake Grand Haven Community Foundation Manufacturing Scholarship

Joshua Kooi is the recipient of the 2010 Dake Manufacturing Scholarship. He is a 2010 graduate of Grand Haven High School and is interested in pursuing a career in Computer Aided Design (CAD). His plans are to complete basic courses at Muskegon Community College (MCC) and then transfer to the CAD program at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

An uncle that received his degree in CAD from Western Michigan University got Jason thinking about CAD as a career early in high school. He added design and engineering classes his sophomore year and fell in love with it.

“I really like how the design just evolves in front of my eyes as I work on it. It also seems to come naturally to me. It was fun and easy”, Jason said.

Jason played varsity hockey for Grand Haven and plans on doing volunteer coaching while attending MCC.

The Dake Grand Haven Community Foundation Manufacturing Scholarship was first endowed in 2007 in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of Dake manufacturing in Grand Haven, Michigan.
