As soon as an American company like Kurt works their ass off to build and

establish the market for it your old boss will buy it.



Meaning, your old boss will buy the cheap Chinese knock off.



I suppose it might be useflu as long as a person is just drilling holes or

taking light cuts but I prefer mounting a vise onto an angle plate, much

more rigidity and the additional mass provides significantly better

vibration dampening.


I agree. I don't think it will sell very well. It's a cute idea but that's about as far as it goes.


Curious how (Avion) is doing these days, it's been a while since I've heard

I wonder if they have gotten into 5 axis machining, if they have a Gibbscam training problem like many shops in San Diego do, how much toolpath surfacing they are doing. It never was a very high tech shop but they did some challenging work. Owner seemed pretty cheap. Nothing unusual there.
