I think there’s a big difference between greed and a company trying to not go bankrupt. Free shipping on an $89 order is a good deal.

I put a reverse switch on mine (variable speed) and it doesn’t track very well at all in reverse. It would take some doing to get it to run straight and on center.

Happy New Year Fitzo I hope you’re doing well! It all depends on your intended purpose and what you need out of a tool that should determine the quality of tool you buy. When it comes to drills I have some small HSS drills that cost less than $2 each. I also run small carbide drills that cost...

In my experience it’s by far more cost effective to just buy new drills for anything under 3/8 or so. If you aren’t too worried about your time the smaller drills can be sharpened but for the cost of new ones vs potential issues with badly sharpened drills it isn’t worth it most of the time. I...

Thanks for the heads up Ken! I actually just switched website hosts earlier this year and had to redo my website and I hadn’t realized I never put my location on there. I’ll have to get that updated! Website building is definitely not my specialty

I love copper and it goes so well with that black carbon fiber. Excellent knife

Happy Independence Day everyone! I’ve decided to have a store wide sale on everything I have in stock as a means of celebrating this 4th of July. So everything in the store is 10% off now through Friday the 7th! To get the discount simply put 1776 in the discount/coupon box during checkout or...

A #67 drill is .032 and a #73 is .024 might be a little snug ;) A letter O drill is .316 and a letter B is .238

Those prices seem very reasonable to me. Great looking knives!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! To finish the year out I am running a sale site wide on all in stock products. Now through Jan. 1st 2022 if you spend $100 use the code holiday15 for 15% off or spend $600 and use the code holiday20 for 20% off. https://contenderworks.com/

Haha I’ll need to start making sure the valve is closed when I package the chillers! I’m glad you like it. I hope it serves you well!

Thanks! It’s amazing the difference the circulating water makes in heat build up. The platen will go from running so hot you can’t touch it to running cool to the touch. If anyone’s interested in purchasing one I do have some in stock it’s just not something I’ve had time to pursue lately.

Sounds great! I’ll get them both made ASAP

I checked it out and there seems to have been some technical difficulties on my end. The reason you couldn’t find it is because it wasn’t showing up! It’s fixed now. I will discount you the correct amount. I plan to do a run of radius platens this week and will run a 7 3/4 platen for you when...

Currently the only thing I have for a mounted ceramic platen is the water cooled aluminum backing plates. I talk about them on my website some. Bottom of the page. https://contenderworks.com/the-designs These have a shelf on both top and bottom to nest the ceramic. Same as the magnetic heatsink...

I can’t remember off the top of my head for sure but I think the newer KMGs also have a 7 3/4 long platen. Since the radius platens must sit way out in front of the pulleys the 9 inch platen should work just fine. You can see in the one picture above there’s a 9 inch long radius platen on a KMG...

Feel free to ask any and all questions! I know there are things that seem obvious to me but I forget to show off and explain well enough. The water cooled platens are wonderful to use. The wet grinding can be a little messy unless you have a nice setup to capture it but definitely worth it in my...

Oh yeah I can see that. The long table could definitely be turned sideways and used that way. You’re right though with the end not being chamfered you would not be able to position it right up close to the platen when at an angle.

No the large platens are not beveled as they are typically intended for jig grinding. Are you talking the short end? I could put a 45 degree chamfer on the bottom of one of the short ends pretty easy. I’d say an extra $5 to modify it like that.
