    Chris, thanks for the kind words, we try very hard to fill as many
    needs as possible during our many shows. CIM is by far our biggest
    venue and a ton of fun.

    I'm selfishly sad about Rich's retirement; he is such a great
    resource and a wonderful person. He will be missed.

    The MX wheels probably won't be available till late spring, March is
    a little too soon, sorry about that. However, I just checked stock on
    all of the older FX brand wheels, all of the 4" are in stock, and
    with the exception of three of the 6" wheels (240, 600 & 800 grit) we
    still have stock. For those interested these can be found on page 327
    of the 2008 tools catalog.

    We are still working on the mandrel mounted versions with the
    vendor, please be patient with us on that. 

Hope to see you all next year at CIM!
