Sorry, regarding the Ti ones, are you referring to the next batch? Or was there a problem with the first one? As I thought the Ti crowns were ready a couple weeks before the SS ones had been scheduled to ship. Confused ???

I have the Titanium crowns in stock... but they aren´t beadblasted... and if i am correct the TI crowns should be beadblasted... isn´t??? The old T48 crowns was beadblasted... i am not a expert... could someone tell me how the gen TI crown looks like? Is this new Titanium crown good or do we need it in beadblasted finish?

here pictures of my crowns

Hi T,

the gen Ti crowns aren't bead-blasted, at least not on the historic models I handled in the past.

It should look pretty much like the one in the middle in your photo above.

cheers,

better pictures.. in compare with the SL T48 SS (sample crown with the overpolished bevels - the mass production will be with less polishing) and the older T48 SS + T48 TI...

Hi t, has shipping started yet ? Can we expect to get shipping notification ?

regards

I'm pretty sure the only notification comes when the postman knocks on your door, at least that's what I've experienced :)

Hopefully, as no alteration to the finish is needed, he's working on liking some stamps now.

the SS crown is now finalized without the over-polishing and without the slope

Bwitesox,

I think Tourby said that the dish has to be shallow to accommodate the spring mechanism so I doubt there will be enough material there to make it .8mm recess. But I'm sure he will comment on this much better than I can.

I just wish there was a way to use the same manufacturing process that was used to create the spring loaded crown with less polishing on the classic deep T48 without spring. I know Tourby created this because people were always complaining about how deep his crowns were but I personally bough all of my T48's precisely because of deep dish. Myself and many others with OEM, Jimmy, Little Hero, SNembo, Torobravo and old cartel crownguards will have to get Palp's deep dish crowns.

it is not possible to make the crown dish deeper because the spring mechanism sitting here

for the guy who using the "OEM, Jimmy, Little Hero, SNembo, Torobravo and old cartel crownguards" will produce a extra crown with 0.8mm dish deep and 1.2mm threaded crown... with a bigger crown tube like the gen

this special crown will be ready in November / December... i will start with the drawings soon and will contact you guys
