Cannon Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 We have bad news about the filing service. The machine we used was a 50 year old hand-me-down. After fulfilling just a few orders, the machine broke. We have spent the past few days trying to find a solution for the machine. We have not been successful. We're not really looking to completely replace the machine with a modern version at this time. We apologize for this inconvenience and have contacted those with outstanding orders. This is a service that we hope to offer on a regular basis but has proved to be rather challenging. Of course we'll post updates if there are any, but for now the Filing Service has been taken down. Back to the drawing board! Matt and Kristy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just an idea, haven't tried it yet, but I got a 1/2" handheld bandfile from harbor freight for less than 30 bucks. It's basically a tiny handheld belt sander. If I try filing a gripper with it I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I had an inspirational thought while watching a DIRESTA video on YouTube.. I believe I can rig up a solution with stuff I already have. I'm going to try this weekend. Cross your fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I wish I did. I've been flat out with some kind of cold or something that is really hanging on. Going on about 9 days now. I didn't get out to work on this. I believe I have a solution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 This would be great! I will order another 10 or so COC's as soon aus you give me a go.😜 Get well soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is it a hand held belt sander with the handle in a vice? Been there, the belt rode so far to the side that the bearing melted through the plastic housing (that's harbor freight for you.) So, keep an eye out for that.

Cannon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ultimately the solution will likely be tools used as intended. I think I'm just going to throw some money at the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 @Jörg Keilbach Well, I figured out how I'm going to do this going forward, but it has not been a priority to figure it out. We've been really busy with non-CPW stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
