I'm not, but don't underestimate that is old timers for the forum don't know our shít too. Lol


And looking at your notes, 10-12 hours of machine time for the spindle, comes out to $750-870 ($150 setup plus $60/hour) sounds about right.

I sent my machine shop the pics, this was the reply:
"Shït load of fixtures needed for those parts. Ridiculous amount of work"

He thinks the asking price is the deal of the century, LOL

Well check your PM and be glad my talk with Andy went much better
Seems there was plenty of room after all, as I had a hunch it was there after some research.

So I can count on you to buy a set then?

Disappointing- I really can't understand your angle DE.50 were you just in this for the argument You were the only one to call the kit cheap when it first launched at full retail. Then here in this thread it felt like you had a personal stake in justifying the high costs as legitimate/ worth it. After expressing your interest in buying, if by some magic of persuasion I was able to work a deal. Encouraged me to call in, then told me how bleak the prospect was and that somebody like me couldn't pull it off... You still claimed to be a buyer if I was able to get this great kit at a discount saying: "But hey, if you can get them cheaper, I'm definitely a buyer." I made it happen and now you're out? *Shugs* Ah well to each their own I can't blame you for changing your mind but I can't take the yo-yo treatment anymore haha peace guy-

I'm just happy to know in the end that Andy and Voodoo13 will work with us on pricing, and it felt good to have most of what I said here validated when I called in. Just goes to show that it's better to look at things objectively, then just saying no and being negative to any alternative thoughts.
