Tormach not being high pressure is a good sign , I'm going to give them a call this week .
I have a couple ongoing bad experiences with sales , one is the local snap-on truck . Three years ago my nephew turned me onto a deal , a kid he worked with was taking a different job and was looking to unload his toolbox for the payoff .
It was a very good deal so I gave the snap on guy his cash and went merrily on my way . Till the following Wednesday when he showed up in my driveway, and nearly every Wednesday since then he has shown up wasting an hour of my time . The only other thing I've bought from him was a set of o ring pics.
I don't know why he keeps showing up .
And I have at least two tool salesman call every week , another waste of time , currently I might buy a couple drills , and endmill or two and possibly a single tap every month .
The $1 commission they earn from me a month must be pretty important.
Ok sales rant off
Back to probes and haimers , if I'm reading things correctly a haimer is a good solid middle ground as far as speed and accuracy goes . Making it a very useful and worthwhile tool to have .
Thinking along those lines , edge technologies has an analog tool setter for around $100. I have a couple other things they make and have been very happy with the quality .
Is there any good reason to not go that route
