Dave,
I’m with you on why manufacturers don’t work out all these details, but Livingstone has spent a couple of hundred sending me bits to try out. Better late than never.
My guess is that Livingstone and others figure the fabricators already have a variety of bits and don’t need told. The reality is that many of us “get by” with what we have till the larger needs are taken care of. Dick Thomas jumped on this when he became aware of it and it is my undestanding that the issue was a hot issue for upper managment, I know that Dick was doing all he could to get er done. It just took me a week longer to get the time to test the bit.
When you need a tool, you are already paying for it. Sometimes though you gotta trade time for expense.
That would be a good project for someone with some extra time, find out who sells a bowl without a recomended bit, figure out the answers and post them.
Looks like they are selling Avonite, Mystera and Formica sheets. I saw Avonite sinks featured as well.
I offer all three brands currently, although no one has picked Mystera or Formica sheet goods for their project. My Avonite sales are way down, but I think that is just the solid surface market being depressed the last year or so.
So we know all three brands advertise or watch this forum, so what is the deal here? This needs to be cleaned up if I am to keep these boxes out where people can see them.
This type of marketing is such a slap in the face for the shops that do our best to put out a quality product. But, everyone in this business knows that fabricators sell what they recomend, so it is not like we have to put up with it.
Let’s give the three companies a few days to hear about this and decide what to do. Maybe they will decide that fabricators are ilrelevant in the changing market.
