Who it is for
Any shop that has lost a day waiting for a belt, a limit switch or a bearing that costs less than lunch.
What it does on the floor
A small wall bin with the parts that fail most often on routers and engravers: drive belts, limit switches, common bearings, fuses, collet nuts and cable ties. Each part has a kanban card, so when the bin is used the reorder email goes out.
It is not a full spares store. It is the ten or fifteen cheap parts that stop a machine dead. Having them on the wall turns a lost day into a twenty-minute fix.
Mistakes we see in the first month
- Using the last part and not reordering it.
- Storing parts in a box with no labels, so nobody knows what is there.
- Stocking parts for a machine the shop sold last year.
South African conditions
Courier times to smaller towns can turn a cheap part into a lost week. Shops in Polokwane, Kimberley or the Lowveld usually keep a slightly deeper bin than shops in Joburg or Cape Town.
Space and power at a glance
A wall-mounted bin about 600 x 400 mm near the machine. Nothing to plug in.
Care at a glance
- Pull the card when you take a part
- Put pulled cards in the reorder pocket
- Keep the bin closed against dust
Spares worth keeping close: the bin itself is the spares.
Before you email
Read the specs for the numbers, the layout notes for floor space and power, and the care routine for what the machine needs each week. Then email cnc@cncpme.co.za with your city, what you cut most, and a photo of the space.
