1/32 carving bits available anymore?

[dickcash]

Did the 1/32 carving bits go away?

Under the SHOP link in the CW store I can't find any mention of it.

It is in a set of bits for $400. The part number of the bit is BCR03125P

Under the PRODUCTS link under BITS there is a description and a BUY NOW link that goes nowhere.

Is it discontinued? out of stock? anybody hear anything?

The BUY NOW link goes to a page that says "This product is unavailable or temporary disabled."

I would assume they are simply out of stock.

I did find that the BUY NOW link leads to a page that says:

"This product is unavailable or temporary disabled."

It doesn't say it is "temporarily" "unavailable" and I don't know what "temporary disabled" means (if anything).

That's what made me ask the original question.

Are the 1/32 carving bits available anymore?

Does anybody have any information?

Thanx lynnfrwd.

we were both typing at same time. any ETA when they might be available?

[lynnfrwd]

We sold out of them, but we do have more on order and will add back to the store once received.

I was actually thinking more generally, not just the bit. I think there was a period last year when brushes were out of stock several times, and I think that the demand wasn't being tracked well enough to keep the stock level up. If you were able to order under a "back order" status, it would allow LHR to monitor that demand.


Just a thought 20 years of retail and 30 years of inventory management speaking here.

I very much agree that we need better tracking of inventory. The other issue was the old manufacturer's ability to deliver.

Bits should be here end of January.

Would be nice if the website could actually distinguish between out of stock and discontinued.
