It's being a while but I had some very promising news on the funding front today. Will be able to explain more at news comes to hand.

I have refined the CNC programs and have run another sample core. This one is machined both sides including the flange and taper for the inserts. Nice no iffy drilling.

Parts have being ordered from the USA and production of the first board will begin as soon as the parts arrive.

Will post photos of the first production as they occur.
