Checking out the big builders sites, Looks like Kenz is seeing a pattern here... CNC is the way to go.
Wonder what the going rate is?

I'm sure they will be around the same price as racers edge.  I would also be willilng to bet that they'll be doing TB boring soon.

I like the CNC option because it's HARD for a computer to screw things up. But how come It costs more than a person manually doing it?  ???

Bells and whistles.....its all about the bells and whistles.

Have to pay for that CNC somehow.

I understand you have to pay for it somehow. But in my eyes, that's a business cost. Taking a person out of the factor would be a way I would think to increase production and take away a person. Leaving more money for the company and a way to lower end user cost... Oh well...

To offset the cost of the expensive equipment used to machine them.  It's cool for us we have so many choices now.  Racer's Edge, Kenz, Tim Barker, Kenny, cnc seems to be the only way to go.  I think the cost is worth the piece of mind that your head is as consistent as it can get.

I wonder if the costs will go down in time once cnc becomes the standard?

I'm hoping. I'm sure as time moves on we'll see more companies come out of the wood work like Racers Edge did. That alone can only bring prices down IMO.


That's what was nice about when Bo started up his business. He got out there, had a low price with great gains comperable to some of the big names, If someone jumps on that bandwagon with CNC, they'll steal the business!

It was sad to here Bo stopped head porting. :(  But he is doing the right thing for his family.  :clap:

I sure hope the CNC goes down. That kinda high, IMHO.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

It was REALLY sad. Oh well. You have to keep the family happy :)


I am one of the lucky few that got ported by Bo, but I agree, For the average person looking to get P&P'd the prices are to high.

That's why Bo rocked!

I'm sure they are contracting out. Maybe I'll do some digging.
