the TA was supposed to be recalibrating the machine last week and getting started. that was the last ive heard from him - ill shoot him an email now. i havent forgotten about you guys, but i wish i was in a position where i had a little more control over the situation.........
I've had mine in without glue since a week after this started. Just a slight gap in the middle ring, but they really aren't that bad... They haven't moved at all, either.
some people have had more luck than others. i dont really know why that is. as insane as it sounds, the ones cut closer to the chuck could be better than the ones cut from the end of the stock... .007" is not a very considerable difference. the TA is still working on updating the code and producing more, but i would be foolish to make any comment about when theyll be done. he is clearly on his own schedule and i cant b**** him out too much since hes doing me a favor and isnt really getting paid (and if he was i doubt it would make a difference).
but - i havent given up on getting them and i dont think you guys should either - timeframe is another story though.
the polished rings look sharp. id love a set myself haha... hopefully there will be a few extras when the TA ships them to me.
