Latest Stock Update

Well I wish I could be updating this saying “the bits are here…. “, however, unfortunately that’s not the case.

Both the factories used for production of router bits and inserts are struggling with the extended lead times for raw carbide materials.

The current expected delivery time frame is the end of the month – if there is any changes in this I will keep this post updated. I won’t be opening pre-orders since I do not have a confirmed date and how things are it’s possible the date could slip again.

Thanks!

Clown in Chief Strikes Again

So after the Supreme Court told the clown in chief (more like Pedo in Chief) that his circus of tariffs are illegal, he had his usual toddler meltdown and then via social media decided he impose 10% globally now overnight that has changed to 15% globally . . . but those can only exist for the next 150 days!

At the moment I have raised the tariff to 15% accordingly, but given the absolute clown show that is the US government is, things may change again and it might be a case of halting all shipments to the US because of this uncertainty.

Stock Update

So the last stock of profile bits came and have very much gone – thank you all for the ongoing support particularly to the US customers with the ongoing mess you have as a government!

The new stock is on order and is now expected early to mid April – one of the other impacts the Pedo in Chief has managed to do with the tariff and trade war is to raise Tungsten prices as China restricted the sales of Tungsten Carbide. So unfortunately, price increases are also on the horizon.

We have been selling carbide products are over 10 years and haven’t raised the price once – until the last year.

For those in the US who may be reading this and still supporting this Pedo in Chief, these are the real world impacts to voting for an incompetent fuckwit as your president!

Pricing

Well since the Pedo/Clown/War monger in chief and his gimp in Israel have decided to bomb Iran for no other reason than the gimp wanted to, guess what, tungsten carbide prices ain’t coming down, they’ve gone up further!

Here is the current market pricing for Tungsten carbide (the power what used for the cutting inserts and router tips). .

You can see for yourself the Pedo-in-Chief effect from the 2nd of April when he decided to begin his trade war with the world the price headed up and have not slowed! It’s currently 7x the price as it was last January!

All NEW stock will be impacted by price hikes, from looking at the raw insert price it appears it’ll be around $1 increase per insert. I haven’t worked out the router bit prices yet since some of those had a price increase a few month back.

As I have said before I will try to keep pricing as sensible as possible but some products such the 22mm two hole inserts for the old SteelCity 40305 and Sherwood thicknesser, just won’t be restocked. I was looking to restock these inserts however the pricing was going to make a the retail of single insert to be $10! I haven’t even asked what the price on the 6″ knifes would be, but given the 3 knives are nearly 300g of carbide and 1Kg of raw material carbide is over A$450 you can do the maths!
