Mike New Bearings and Platters an Update
Hello Folks
It's been an interesting few days.
I am now able to offer my High Precision bearings for delivery in the UK at 340 pounds Inc delivery. For sales into Europe, the equivalent in Euros. My platters are available for 525 pounds Inc delivery.
I currently have 6 bearings left from the most recent batch of 30, and 4 platter blanks.
With the platters, I have total control over the machining process in my own workshop, I do not have to get them made by outside suppliers, so this means I am able to produce them to customer requirements, in respect of the thickness, weight and whether it has a machined label recess which some people have said they do not want. So with me you have a choice.
Another very important point is that because I have control over the manufacture of my bearing, I am able to very accurately match the internal taper of the platter centre boss with the taper on my bearings.
This is vitally important with a heavy platter.
I have looked at making a special bearing which dispenses with the taper, but uses a better designed attachment to mate with the new platter.
I discarded this idea as all it does is to lock in customers to having to buy both bearing and platter at the same time, thus preventing a smooth transitional upgrade over time, which the present arrangement allows for.
