Rangate Testimonials

"[I] was using the Barth to do some simple glue-ups. It’s working as hoped – elegantly simple, easy to use and effective. I’m still pleasantly surprised at the robustness of all of the components of the unit, it’s built like a tank, and I like that. It really simplifies gluing-up, which in my compact shop (no room for gluing tables, etc.) is really nice. I just wished I had it (along with my Pizzi) 5 years ago. Every small woodworking shop should have one, futzing with K-body clamps (while they have their place) is ridiculous. To me it’s just as critical a piece of woodworking equipment as a tablesaw."

"The Alpine Technical Workshops^© was instrumental in not only furthering my skill set, but increased the workshop productivity in my custom window and door manufacturing business. I completed the class with a full understanding of techniques and methods in Tilt and Turn Windows, Lift and Slide doors, and European machinery and tooling. For those interested in entering the field of European window and door manufacturing, this workshop is a must."

"I recently used the services of Rangate in the purchase of a sliding table saw, a bandsaw and saw blades. I take my hat off to Rangate for the excellent service I received in coordination of purchasing, shipping and quality of the machine packaging. This was all accomplished in a very short time frame and more than exceeded any expectation that one should have. I would use and recommend the services of Rangate in the future for any further purchases."

"I wanted to write and tell you how pleased we are with the service [Rangate] and you in particular provided for us. Because you really went the extra mile communicating and working with us to insure we got exactly what we needed, everything was right the first time, and we got it fast. Thank you again and be certain we will continue to be in touch for future orders."

"I bought (the) tooling based on recommendations from other shop-owners. The tooling has more than lived up to my expectations. The cutters are nicely balanced and post-shaping sanding is minimal to non-existent. Greg Godbout is very knowledgeable and has been a great help in choosing the best tooling for my needs. The after-purchase service for replacement knives and product support has been excellent."

"Greg Godbout and Rangate have proven to be a reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy vendor. Greg has been very helpful in acquiring special machinery and tooling from Europe with his knowledge of importing and affordable shipping."

"DECO CUSTOM WOODWORK INC., an architectural woodworking company looks at a solution to replace (our existing) door cutters due to excessive sharpening, poor quality and costs. After consulting with Greg (at Rangate), (Greg) identified opportunities to significantly reduce costs and increase quality. The solution was to replace the carbide cutter heads with (another manufacturer's) custom Multi-profile UNIFIX cutter sets, a unique dedicated insert system with disposable cutters. As a result of the custom knife geometry and the unique UNIFIX system, chipping was reduced while quality was increased. In spite of tooling that initially "looked" expensive, the company realizes yearly savings."
