Well the website is back up anyway. still don't have my opensource portal ready as I wanted but heres the gimmick. all of my tooling is opensourcable. meaning that I made my own tooling so I can use it and then inventory the extras for retail to anyone with a machine shop who wants them. If you set up a CNC machine of any sort these tools will benifit you greatly in their quality and price. And there is no reason you could not make them yourselves if your up to it. Sometime later as I get my new platform up and running I'll show you just how to make the tooling in house but for now Here they are. Ready for distribution. In the picture below I'm showing a real price comparison. I can manufacture for you 2 collet holders and 1 tapping head for about the same price as you can get a tapping head from the competition. If you set up and program CNC's you have got to try this system. I guarantee you will save money. You will be able to inventory more tooling ready to use for less money. And that people is efficiency.

Open sourcing to be the new rage? maybe. If your like me you've got 10's or even 100's of thousands of dollars all around you in tooling, and its not all that special either. Go ahead look I dare you. You've got this tool and that tool Oh and that one over there you paid extra for it just to have it fast because you needed it yesterday. Uh huh. I've got an idea for you. pick one of then up that you use alot. It don't matter just pick one up. See how its made. Golly I bet you could make one of those couldn't you... I bet its an old design on a new tool tool too so theres no patent infringement either. not that their would be if you made one for yourself. I'm trying a new idea here. I love the DA-200 collet holders. and their counterpart tapping head that uses DA-200 collets as well. I think they are just super at the small stuff. you know little hole big part. I'm manufacturing a bunch of them just because, and I'll sell you the extras cheaper than you can buy them and I'll have an inventory of them just waiting on your call because I'm tired of paying $100.00 plus shipping for the darn things. I'm selling the collet holders at $58.00 ea. they are very professionally made with a black oxided finnish. THATS 58% of retail MAN.....

Tell you what. you go pick up one of those tools you hate to buy make some and maybe I'll need one someday and I'll be on the phone with you wanting one yesterday. meanwhile if you need a DA-200 collet holder call me.. or just go make one gees..
