    asking him about the leverage bolt hole or whatever you want to call it...

    just got off the phone, he is being more than helpful...was going to see what it cost for 4 in a manilla envelope or maybe flat rate....I asked if he got me that number if it would be ok if I blabbed on here to send him more business...he said sure...

    with the quote he gave including shipping for say the 8 that he had, $68, asked him then about just 4 and he said that ups is still ganking for $20 shipping so $44....then he mentioned the flat rate or just in a manilla envelope scenario...

    so, he is getting back to me here soon, said he was checking this out now...but even with the high ups shipping it was like $8.5 each finger...so....I will await his return email or phone call..

    I had asked him about the extra tapped hole...well that was not feasible...almost tripled the price per finger....

    crud, forgot to ask about the hole...

    anyway, $37.16 out the door shipped to Texas, roughly $24 for the fingers and $10 for first class mail and tax was $3.16

    He said I could blab it on here so I am blabbing it on here.

    I believe he said he had another set on hand so hop on the phones or you will have to wait till more are made....

    I am wanting to get in on this... do you think I could send him a Fed-ex shipping label by email and have him ship me a set of 8 on my account? pretty dumb question I guess... sure he could, but would he? I want to build 2 presses for the local shop to use... the sureloc Xpress is soo outdated for speed and ease of use. I have all the info and will likely call him in the morning. Thanks a ton for all of your information and your ingenuity!

    How tall are these fingers? My Yet2gettheBig1 fingers are BARELY tall enough to press my buddies Omen due to the size of the cams. I'd like to have a set that would fit my press but be at least 1/2" taller.

    A friend of mine owns a archery shop. He found that finger ca be to straight. Not enough bend over at the top.

    So now iam beginning to wonder about the ones i ordered here.

    Now i believe he got his replacement set from a At member here. That goes by Walks With GI.And they worked great. I hope i spelled it right. Now its my understanding.He will no longer be making them.[ Later

    Let us know Joe. I've bought some of your stuff before, I'd be interested. Since Yet2GettheBig1 is on hiatus, he probably won't mind if you use his finger design and make it a little taller. He always shared his design dimensions freely. They work perfectly on everything I've put in it, but the Omen cams have 1/4" or less clearance. Regular XF-HF was no problem.

    Just got off the phone with Sern,,,,,, ordered 8 fingers for $50 & $10 shipping.
    Used the ref# from the other post's & it couldn't have gone smoother. He said it would take 2-3 days to get them cut & then shipping time, so I should get them sometime next week.

    I got a manufacturing guy I use in town to outsource some parts when we can't handle the load. I got charged $68 for 16 fingers cut out of 1/2" plate. They turned out great and were held to .003" tolerance.

    If guys would have read the whole thread and followed the order # there would have never been a problem. Some guys had to get way to many people involved and ask to many questions. Should have been an easy thing. To many phone calls to many emails for something so simple.

    Hello I got her to. But ask for Sern .He's generally pretty busy. But if he can't get a hold of him. Call and ask again.

    There very nice fingers. But as my shop suggested they could lean forward a little more for some bows. Or mount them. Where as you can roll them back and forth. For some bows. [ Later

    Last check the ebay seller wanted $60 for a set. I would personally call local metal shops and print out the template thats floating around on here. The shop I use told me he would cut 4 of them out of 1/2 inch steel for $20, add $10 for tapping 4 holes.

I think if I were to have some cut for myself I would cut them 90 deg at the tip for my SBXT. Am I close?
    I was going to build some myself and didn't see why they could not be 90 degrees? It would seem like it would work better with a 90 degree bend on the end. Can anyone clear this up?

    You can put them at 90 degrees, but the reason they are angled is for more room for the cams. Atleast, that's what I have been told.

    Prolly not, might try to PM them and see if they will make a set for you but with the way a certain company is so insecure about thinking others are gonna get rich off these and sending out threats from lawyers makers don't last long. Best thing to do would be find the fingers diagram on here and try to get them made locally.
