Bensmith Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Howdy Everyone, More pyro goodies are ready for their prime-time debut. Even a larger bunch of tooling is right behind this group (large tube supports, more star plates and rocket tools). Before we get into the announcement, though, just a quick reminder about delivery to the PGI. A tremendous amount of 1lb, 3lb, 6lb rocket tools, star plates of every size, shell tools and presses will be available. Delivery is absolutely free of charge, but you will need to contact me ASAP to ensure that your order is ready and waiting for you at the convention. Only 4 presses remain available. Regular price is $2099. PGI pricing will be $1999. If you would like one, call or email right away. This pricing is also good for those of you who aren’t able to make it to the convention but would like to purchase one of the 4 remaining presses that are currently in-stock. Email ben@firesmithtools.com or PM through this site. Now… on with the new announcements New Spoulette & Insert Tooling Checkout the photos below for the latest version of the Deluxe Spoulette & Insert Set. Developed to work directly with NEPT tubes available from Hobby Horse, this latest tool set feature CAD design and CNC machining. The rammers are stainless steel with graduations in ¼” intervals. All other components are 6061 aluminum billet that has been chemically blackened, surface hardened and engraved with pertinent product information. The coloring and hardening creates a surface that is tough as nails, reduces friction and is easy to keep clean. Plus, engraved information makes it much easier to keep track of all the bit & pieces. Included in the set are two rammers (one with a flush tip and one with a tapered tip), tube support, tube ejector, flush ramming base and two indented ramming “spindles” (one flat and one tapered. I Deluxe Spoulette & Insert set Introductory pricing through 7/24 $99 New Rocket Tools Every rocket tool set in the entire FireSmith catalog is undergoing the same redevelopment process. All told that will amount to 40 new rocket sets across 1lb, 2lb, 3lb, 4lb and 6lb sizes. Each tooling kit is completely CAD designed and CNC machined. All spindles are machined from bronze billet and polished to a high luster. Spindles machined from this alloy release quite easily from a finished motor even when pressed to 9,000psi on the fuel grain. These spindles are completely removable from the base by unscrewing a couple stainless steel hex screws. All rammers and bases are machined from 6061 aluminum billet, chemically blackened, surface hardened and engraved. This metal treatment results in a very tough tool set that is much more abrasion resistant than bare aluminum and will last nearly forever. Friction is reduced making rammers easier to remove from a motor tube. No-pass and swap-out lines are machined in to the surface and are highly visible. Plus, product information detailing tube length and tool-set name and size is also engraved into each rammer. This eliminates damage and safety hazards present when rammers and spindles get mixed up.
