What's Up with Iturra Design?
You guys hyped up this Iturra Design catalog for bandsaw accessories.
I called a few weeks ago, spoke to a human, asked for a catalog and they took my name and address. Nothing in the mail. Is this just some dude in his garage, smokin weed all day or what? :-) -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

Hey Mike,
I just checked the google archives because I recalled someone on this group could net get through. It was mike-why , back in March (I know, not you). Did you request your catalogue prior to that time ? I bought a lot of stuff from Louis and he's very good about getting orders and catalog requests out. I hope all is well with him and that he just made a mistake with your request. Give him another holler, maybe he's just very busy. Marc (or maybe they are printing a revised catalogue and just waiting for the new edition from the printer?) ) You guys hyped up this Iturra Design catalog for bandsaw accessories.

Mike,
It took awhile for me to get one as well. More than a month I think. Probably he prints up x copies as he gets requests (figure it's a cost saving) and then mails. No doubt, it's worth the wait. Be patient and if/when you call, be nice! MJ |

As other have suggested, give another call just in case your request got lost. Reply-to address is real John |

No, don't call them a second time. I did that, asked the gal to check if it was mailed. She took my name and address and promised to look. A couple of weeks later, I and got two catalogs in the mail on the same day. |

Good thing for them, I don't have any important projects for which I need the bandsaw.

I just got some very good advice from Louis at Iturra about choosing the right pulleys for my upgrade of my 14" delta band saw with a 3hp Baldor. I'm psyched! BTW my final speed will be 4600 fpm, up from the standard 3000 fpm.

If you would be so kind. Thanks, Jim in the Bluegrass |

If you would be so kind. More speed AND more HP. I don't know what he would say if more HP were not an option. But I con't see the advantage of more torque. You can push the wood HARDER into the blade before it slows down, but I can't see that you could cut any faster, except with more power. If you get a definitive answer on this, though, please post it, since I have the same issue. I really don';t want to spring for a new motor. -- Alex -- Replace "nospam" with "mail" to reply by email.

Is this just some dude in his garage, smokin weed all day or what? :-) I just had a very disappointing phone conversation with someone at Iturra Design. I tried 6 web links to download their catalogue, and all of them came up with a "404 error". I placed a call to Iturra Design and spoke with someone there who couldn't tell me what their website address was or where to go to download the catalogue. He said that one way to get the catalogue was to place an order, but when I informed him that "it was hard to order something if you don't know what is available" ... he couldn't offer any suggestions. Not sure how they do much business with such great customer service.. |
