Update 5/18/08
First I realize that not everyone has even recieved there order. of 91 orders i have gotten replies one one type or anouther from about 15 people. that is 16.5% of the entire buy so far. With that precentage in mind, there have been 11 defective heads reported. The list of defects has gotten larger though so please keep reading.
possible defects that I know of at this time include.
1. set screw will not tighten enough to hold pilot shaft.
attempts have been made to tap out this hole with most if not all resulting in a damaged tap.
2. set screw hole is drilled/tapped to large and set screw is sloppy.
may be corrected by replacing the supplied set screw with a #10-32 x 1/4" Set Screw. thanks glass scratcher.
3. hole for pilot shaft is drilled off center in the head.
with the above precentage I am now expecting the number of defective heads of heads to be in the range of 50 to 60. Oddly this is just about the number of heads they where short in being able to fill the order in the first place.
I want to publically thank Morecowbells, rjwolf3, Jarheaded, Monty, Paul in OKC,and Betty44720. I will not make a big speech about why I am thanking these 6 people. each of them will know. I will say that each of these have, in there own way, shown the spirit that makes this the greatest group on the internet. Non of them are strangers here at the I.A.P. but as always they have demonstrated that friendship and generosity are held in higher value here than anything else. When you notice this around here remember that these 6 are among those who's hands hold that banner up. At there own personal expense they draw the line that community comes before all else on these forums. Thank you each and every one. You are the heart and soul of the I.A.P.
Concerning the latest (Just completed) bulk buy for Rizheng pen mills/ Barrell trimmers.
I have recieved two e-mails so far concerning cutter heads that the set screw hole does not run completely through the head. one attempt has been made to drill and tap the hole and resulted in a broken tap. please check your heads and e-mail me if you have any defective ones and how many. I will do my best have them replaced.
