The rounded spine is a very nice touch. I love that treatment on some of my busses and am glad to see the idea being used in the yard too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

is the regulator still a full 1/3 of an inch thick, or has it been thinned a bit with the new saber grind?

It's still the same thickness.

I have to be honest with you, the saber grind shocked all of us when it emerged as the best chopper. And the difference in efficiency was pretty big.

I was really rooting for the full height grind as I thought it looked as though it would chop better and it is MUCH cheaper to manufacture. Saber grinds have to be much more accurate than full height grinds which means that we are forced to use CNC grinders as opposed to mechanical or hydraulic grinders which are much less expensive to run.

Here's another one for you that made little sense at first. The full height grind caused much greater hand and arm fatigue than did the saber ground model. The saber ground version remained comfortable to chop with even in cold weather with no gloves on for extensive periods of time. We ultimately attributed this to the dampened vibration of the blade from the extra rigidity... sort of like a bull barrel on a high power rifle or simliar to difference you feel when you club yourself in the head with an empty bottle instead of a full one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Looks good, Dan. How about some specs? And it sounds like you've gone back to the old business plan. Is that right? And how about a release date? Are you ready to give us that information yet? And how much did you say it would cost?

We are not back on the old business plan. We will be fitting in as many civilian orders as possible while keeping our guys overseas at the front of the line. Once we catch up with those orders, we will be able to offer more finish options.

We should have these up next week. Pricing is still being figured because of some recent changes in manufacturing protocol and we're trying to keep the price as low as possible.
