KM-1 Kerfmaker & Tenonmakers
5/10/12 – Kerfmakers and Tenonmakers are back in production. We should have them in stock by June 20th.
2011 Kerfmaker Production Run
Another batch of Kerfmakers has been started. We should have them in stock by September 6th.
Parts are in the final stages of machine work. We are planning on getting parts to the anodizer on August 17th.
The anodizer did a color test, which killed a few days. The production should start on Monday.
Anodizing complete. Meeting tomorrow to give final approval before laser and assembly starts.
Laser Time! The Kerfmakers get a laser etch of the logo. It is a very small detailed graphic. The laser is up to the task where silk screening or other applied methods would not have the clear detail. They won’t be ready to ship on the 6th as stated above. Final assembly should start by the end of next week and put into inventory by the 14th. Hopefully!
9.8.11 – The assembly has started. “Loctiting” the set screws in is a detailed little task. Locktite (especially the Red stuff) is pretty heavy duty. It is actually sugar based. To remove an bolt with red Loctite you need to use a torch to heat it up and melt the glue a bit.
9.15.11 – Sorry I did not update the ship date last week! Final assembly and packaging is underway. I hope that we have them in hand by the end of the next week (the 22nd) That would mean we can start to process the orders and shipping starts on the 26th.
9.22.11 – Assembly and packaging is still going on now. We are planning on bringing a bunch to the WIA next week. The remaining should be at the distribution center. The web page should be live for orders at the end of the week too.
9.29.11 – I did not get any in time to have with me here at the WIA show. They should be dropped off at our distribution center tomorrow, the 30th. We will turn the web page live on Monday, October 3rd.
10.3.11 – Almost there! Obviously, the page is not live yet, since they are still being assembled! Apparently, these things do take some time. Some will be dropped off at the distribution center either this afternoon or tomorrow. We are pushing them to get everything inventoried asap and THEN the page can be turned live. Hang in there! Thanks for your patience!
10.6.11 – The distribution center has them in hand now. We were told that all should be inventoried tomorrow so the web page will go live then.
10.13.11 – In stock and shipping.

We will open up the Kerfmaker for orders when they get inventoried at the distribution center. Probably by the 26th. We are making plenty of them and should have them in stock for many months.
