I think that is a good idea, I am gonna contack that company that is sellin the other Spirals, and tell them that I will take no legal action if they give Dtek customs a price brak on quantity orders. So he can sell them too.

BTW, I seen that block U are making, Good job...... but why no copper? (sarcasm)
Well I don't want you to shut down if you don't have to but I understand the stress of it all more now than ever. If I didn't have a traveling job I would suggest a partnership and we could share our mills to double output, but I am not around enough to run the mill. My first road trip of this year will be on the 18th. Will be gone for about 7-8 days and then it will probably road trip after road trip after that untill layoff time next year.

I actually did think about Copper as I have about 14pcs already cut to size I need to do something with, but I shutter at the thought of milling it. Especially with a 1/8" bit. I don't have a carbide 1/8" bit anyway. I will have to figure out something to do with those extra copper pcs. I will probably dump $50 for a couple carbide bits and mill them into a few blocks and try and at least get my money back out of the material and bit's.

When everyone wakes up around here I will fire up the mill and finish that block I am working on and start one more I have been thinking about.

I have been looking fairly close at that other spiral and don't think it is as good as yours. I can't really tell but it dosn't look like it has the same width and depth of channels and it dosn't have the 4 holes built into the block, instead it used that plexy plate.

I hope many don't think it is the original spiral. Especially if it is not as good as your.
