Order was Placed yesterday,(ETA 30 days) After three failed attempts, one of those trying to make it on line. Western Union is a pain!!!!
Vera informed me that she submitted our order to manufacturing last Monday in anticipation of the order being placed. She actually reads this thread and knows how the buys work, often being one step ahead of me. At any rate that reduces the wait by about a week. She also said to expect it to take 30 days to arrive (Mid late March).
This will be the last group that has to wait that long to receive their orders. sets and both styles of heads will be available for immediate orders from now on. well that is the plan anyway. I also expect to eventually get individual pilots in stock in the coming months.
The group buy will be in the background for the most part so pointing out that there is a source for low cost mills and sets to the new members that are yet to come will be a huge help.
Closed to any more orders/
My Bad My Bad, i forget not everyone knows all the ins and outs about pen mills. rather than try and post a lot more info here I am placing this link to my web page that has really pretty pictures of mill sets, heads in both 4 blade and 6 blade versions etc. keep in mind that a set does come with a head already.

I have been saying that I expect to place a large order for pen mill sets and heads in February or March. well I now expect it to be in mid February.
Please make some noise on the other forums about this. I have had lots of requests for both sets and heads since running out from the last buy. I cannot possible contact everyone individually.
I will be ordering 100 sets and a total of 400 heads (200 of each type)
The min order is actually 500 of each head and I would like to get as close to that as possible.
So i am going to conduct a group buy for these for the next couple of weeks until my nickles and pennies get together and I am able to place my order.

This will also be the last group buy I do for cutter heads or pen mills. from now on I will independently keep them in stock.
It is also the last chance to get them at group buy prices. the sets and heads I am buying will be offered at a higher price. not a huge increase but I am going to get a return for my investment. once this buy closes prices will be.
$15.00 per set
$5.00 per head
as I have said before the extra money will actually go toward developing other products to have on hand at all times. I have two products at this time. this buy will make it 5.
Below is a photo of a set. the 4 piliots wrench and cutter head in front are what make up a set. the assembled mill in back is something that I left in the picture and a real good reason to kick myself now.
