Hello everyone. Sorry for the slow replies to my emails. I'm currently getting inundated with emails asking for pre orders and eta on more stock. I aim to reply to everyone within a few days but sometimes this blows out depending on my workload. Another thing is that often my replies go to...

Hey everyone, So yeah, the anodising had been kicking my butt. I have done lots of trials and completely overhauled my procedure and chemicals used. I imported some chemicals and reached out to some knife and watch markers here in Australia for help. I have learnt lots and believe i have the...

Hey Alex, Your order shipped on the 16th. I checked the tracking and it looks like it landed in Austria yesterday. Sometimes the tracking email goes to your spam folder. Let me know and i can send it again if you didnt get it. I have 15 orders left to process. This includes some titanium ones...

I'm hoping only a few weeks. It's kind of a how long is a piece of string scenario. I will probably use this opportunity to build some stock to send to VGoodiEZ for my USA friends. This may also be a good time to get my vape design out of my head into a CAD design. Thanks! Ben

XL/mini = yes (possibly), not sure when though. It will probably need a bigger/smaller bearings. The seal is a No from me, because it will cause friction and they wont spin. I need to make you all aware that i have some major defence jobs coming up and they have to take priority over the...

Hey everyone, Just a quick post to let those that have ordered the Ti Model know that i am making them this weekend. I plan to film the process and make a detailed YouTube video for you all. Also i have 100 PEEK bearings being manufactured to my specs as we speak. (Tight ID/OD tolerances and...

Thankyou for your understanding and support! If you like could you PM me your order number so can let you know where your order is at. Ben

Hey mate. I feel this to my core. I don't take these reports lightly so i made a post about it. I guess this is the risk of publicly developing products and being open about it. If there are negative reports that come to me i will share them! I can't replicate this issue or i would share my...

I imagine they would operate the same (ill test this), the plus is that you could submerge in iso /chuck in dishwasher and clean it no problems. No no no! It's not something you have to do! This only applies if you have submerged your bearing in iso and washed the oil out. it's more of an...

Thankyou! I appreciate that. Instead of letting this get me down i will tackle it head on and make this product even better. Also guys, they make PEEK bearings. (that's how good the stuff is) PEEK BEARING This could be offered as a retrofit if you guys have any concerns with your current...

Excellent photo! Thankyou. Alrighty, I think any bearing would be fine if it was in conjunction with a post with a pressed in PEEK top section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyether_ether_ketone would be absolutely ideal. We machine peek for a lot of high demanding applications and it's quite...

I personally don't see this as a massive concern, the amount of residue is probably 0.1% compared to the safe limits of metal exposure. You would probably need to inhale the entire post to be a concern. Metal fabricators/ welders etc that are grinding/filing all day might be a different story...

I have purchased some ceramic bearings just now to test out. Thankyou for taking the risk and trying them in your grinder! As part of me being open and honest with you all i need to share that i I have had some concerns from people regarding the bearing sliding on and off the post potentially...

I have had customers remove the top seal from the bearing and submerge in iso to clean. Just be aware, there is a chance of the balls in the bearing flash rusting if you let them get dry for too long without some kind of oil on them. I recommend putting a drop of avocado, olive, veg oil in the...

Wowzers you guys are fast! Thankyou!

oh no! please DM me and ill fix this. I have some larger magnets here that you can press in securely. Or i can do it for you. Please be assured you will recive the best grinder i can make. The design is staying with the press fit flush bearing. This way i can support all the grinders i have...

I'm 90% sure im going to do the flush pressed bearing and make a press tool. This way i can support all the grinders i have made to date.

Yes, they will be listed seperately and an option to include at checkout. I will also list bearings seperate with the option to include spares in your order. Thanks for all your help mate. I apreciate the videos you made for the community. i have shared the video with lots of customers.
