    Anyone know if CS are inletting yet for the LGU?

    I'm thinking a CS700 would go very nicely on my LGU and maybe they'll have a January sale

    To answer my own question...... just rang and asked them, and it seems there's no plans at the moment to support the LGU

    Apparently the cost of tooling is "Tremendous" and the demand isn't great enough

    I would've thought that the tooling was cheap but initial software set up would cost more

    They do seem to be having tool related problems regarding any new guns, but I think it is more the problem of tools in the decision making dept.

    Cheers

    I was trying to be subtle Tony, but you're right, maybe they need to employ someone to laser scan inletting and apply the results to the cnc machine?

    Im no stock maker and I have no idea how CS operate but I would imagine they would need a few router bits and an LGU to copy from and test fit the stocks. Some of the big radius cutters can cost 80 quid or more and an LGU £350. If they havnt had many request you can see where they are coming from. They might have to sell 4 or 5 before they break even.

    I've just tried to look at their web site and it appears as "Protected Site" and asks for a password to log in.

    A bit weird for a site that should be show casing their products.
