Hey Everyone! update time: I am exhuasted! It's been a full on month. Off to bed for Ben.

Hey Guys, I have this listed in my FAQ on the website: https://oldmatedesigns.com/pages/faq SKF are far superior to the skateboard bearings. SKF bearings are increadiby accurate in sizing. The bore is smooth. I was using the "Better Bearings" at the start and they are way too loose of a...

Thanks for the support! The OMD boxes are a new thing. I am always looking to improve my process and quality and got tired of the bubble wrap. I also have fancy seals for them on the way. Heres a pic of the seals. If you ever purchase from me again, i would be happy to send a box (or two)...

Every single one mate if it puts you at ease. Here is another high end grinder with the exact same mark.

Hello, This is completely normal and something that cannot be removed without polishing etc. Same as the line on the wall directly opposite it. Its a result of the end mill clening up the floor of the grinder. Other manafacturers have the same mark. Every Aroma grinder has this mark from day...

Ok i have figured how out how to include GST in the listings for Australian customers and updated my terms and conditions. I believe all is well again. Thankyou for the heads up everyone! Ben

Yes, Sure thing, I have it stated in the banner on the top of the webstie that pricing is in AUD Excluding gst. In my terms of serive its also noted that the custromer is liable to pay any taxes etc inc gst. The GST is stated in the checkout page before you commit, it's not added on as an...

I am very sorry. I am just as frustrated at the payment side of things. Shopify shut my shop pay down, I am forced to use third party (high risk industry) VISA/MASTERCARD facilitys. These facilitys cost me 5% every transactrion plus 2% for shipify to pass the order through. It hurts. I absorb...

I like the idea. I will give it some thought. There has been numerous comments about making the cap easily removed. Thankyou. Heres the video for you all. Thankyou!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been super busy! I have been working on the XL and now have a functioning prototype to test. Here is some photos of the prototype. I'll release a youtube video soon showing the XL in detail and why i choose to do certain things etc. I...

Hey everyone, I’m very excited to share this update with you all. I've got a brand new CNC machining center on its way and a dedicated workshop to go with it! This machine is an absolute dream boat of mine, made in Japan. I couldn’t be more excited (and just a little nervous tbh). It is the...

That is actually exactly how its been designed! I need to prototype if the 2 bearings work well or i go to a single larger bearing. I guess i will work it out when i make the first metal prototype. Ben

Hey all! Prototyping has begun for the XL model. I'm hoping to make a Aluminium prototype this weekend.

Hello, Your order will be shipped this weekend. Sorry, i have had a delay on my recent bulk purchse of bearings. I chucked a banner on my website to say there could be up to 12 day delay on orders going out but i understand customers don't monitor the website. The bearings arrived yesterday...

I use SKF bearings and only support them. They are excellent and don’t leak. You could swap out for a PEEK dry bearing if it is a concern. The bearing isn’t for amusement, the fidget spinner aspect wasn’t intentional. it’s to take the load of the grinding to stop aluminium flakes. Tbh: my...
