At IBM I worked in an R&D environment developing automated systems for the manufacture of disk drive components.

It often involved working on sub-micron structures with micro-inch tolerances.

1990-present Edward J. Bennett Company
Owner

In 1990 I decided to form my own part time venture to provide fine woodworking for the San Francisco Bay Area. I rented a small industrial shop in Sunnyvale, CA and began producing custom furniture for discriminating clients. I realized quickly that the traditional trial and error methods (test cuts) was inadequate to economically serve my customers so, in 1991 I invented the TS-Aligner products. They became an instant success, consuming all of my free time. In 1992 I moved the company to Boise, ID. In July 2005 I left HP and manufacturing TS-Aligner products and accessories became a full time activity.

In 2007 I began offering my skills and expertise to outside clients.
