[QUOTE="Deleted member 1779, post: 418675"] First of all thanks for the order for the 100mm cores and the BFKMX. Appreciate the sale. You and Dan both raise great questions and on my mind is always to provide equipment that you guys on the front line need. If you say you need a case then perhaps I should start to look at the option seriously. In fact maybe its time to reveal[COLOR=darkslategray][B] TRADE SECRET NUMBER THREE....[/B][/COLOR] We are looking at some prototype drills which are high quality machined and have a water arbor. And we are considering whether to add them to the range or not. Here they are: [IMG]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs708.snc4/62864_426971512013_617362013_5061615_2098255_n.jpg[/IMG] Please note what you are looking at are PROTOTYPES ONLY. [IMG]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs708.snc4/62864_426971517013_617362013_5061616_3798609_n.jpg[/IMG] This is what it might look like mocked up in a case. If we do launch this range then expect to pay about £350 for the kit above. And if we get any cases in for this project I will send you a free case At the moment I am about to set up endurance testing of this drill. [IMG]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs008.snc4/33760_426971557013_617362013_5061619_8237511_n.jpg[/IMG] Example above is of the 8mm drill. My thinking is this. If our current offering is 4 x 8mm cores @ £29.99 for a pack. [IMG]http://www.365drills.com/jpgs/kit6mm3.jpg[/IMG] (This is our current offering) And its life span is about 60 holes (about 15 per core) in VERY HARD C5 grade porcelain. The question is will the test drill surpass the 60 hole life span and if so by how many. If it does 100 holes then its not worth selling because the cost of the drill and the arbor would be about £35 for the arbor £47 for the drill. So its £82 for the pair to drill 100 holes plus the cost of the water cooling system too. You might as well have 2 x packs of 8mm which will give you 120 holes for £60 Now if the drill does 300 holes then that is more commercial. But my gut feeling is that I dont think it will get anywhere near it. As you can see as a manufacturer we are ALWAYS looking for your best options. In this case the project may already be dead but we will test this core in 2011 to see what it does. [IMG]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs710.snc4/63004_426971477013_617362013_5061613_6739006_n.jpg[/IMG] You never know.. It might tick the right boxes. [COLOR=darkslateblue][B] One thing we dont have is all the answers. YOU GUYS ON THE FRONT LINE are valuable sources of information so we welcome ALL comments. If you need this equipment we will produce it for you. [/B][/COLOR] I will keep you informed about using the display cases theme. [/QUOTE]
