Thread: M2 HSS Turning Chisel Batch Order

The plane blade section of this********* seems to be delayed by a further few months

Does this apply to our skews to ? Phil

Regrettable RayG is now in Austria and he will not be back until the 7th of September. Before he left RayG said that the turning chisels were done except for the bevels.

Their is nothing that I can do until Ray returns.

I thought the only grinding on the skews was the bevel ?

Originally the turning tools were supposed to have NO surface grinding. Just check the early pages of this thread. This is why the cost was so low. RayG however opted to surface grind all faces. He wants to give everyone the best tools they could ever get, regardless of the time it took. However other commercial commitments have taken him away from us for two months.

Those who got their turning scrapers can vouch the tools are finely finished.

Ray is extremely remorseful for taking so long.

Stuff happens. I think I will just chill and wait. The cost verses the quality, based on others previous experience with other batch orders, will be worth the wait I feel.

Cheers

Any further word?

Hi Nick,

Good timing.. There's a thread in the hand tool section with updates https://www.woodworkforums.com/f152/p...report-160896/

Josh has been picking up the slack while I've been crook, he's been finishing the plane blades, I've still got a few minor things to do before the turning chisels are ready to post out,

In the next few days you should get a PM requesting 1) postal address confirmation and 2) details of the order being posted,

Regards
Ray

Thanks

BTW No pressure, I was just enquiring as I know how these 'steel' buys go, having been in one or two in the past.

thanks for all your work

Sorry, I missed this post, We were short on the Sorby scrapers from the start, and I have to make these extras by hand. Hacksaw and file Apologies again for the delay.

Ray

Drillit and Enfield Guy have sent me a PM asking for an update on the turning chisels. I sent RayG and Josh a few PM's & emails asking for an update. At this point I have not heard anything from them regarding the turning tools. As far as I can tell they are both busy with the firmer chisels. They have updated this thread regularly. All I can say is that they are working on things as fast they can. Niggling them, will only draw their annoyance.

Note: in the above linked thread there is a reference by Josh to grinding bevels on the skews. Josh is not referring to skew chisels but skew plane blades.

Regrettable - Helmut
