DarTZeel Cartridges

[TooCool4]

US pricing has been wrong for DartZeel for some time. This is lack of due diligence from buyers. The real price is in Swiss Francs. Why US buyers accept a much higher price is beyond me.

This is the same with Spectral prices in the UK, ever since we lost the UK distributor the price has gone crazy to buy it in Europe.

When we had a UK distributor the price used to be £ for $, example Spectral DMC 30SV is $16000 in the US it would be £16000 in the UK. Now that $16000 US is now €36900 which is £31700 UK money and $40500 US. That is a whopping $24500 mark up. Why people in Europe pay that I will never understand.

Anyway, those DartZeel cartridges are a serious chunk of change.

That video you posted was garbage. Just one example: he whines about the “machining marks“ on the front case of the 468 amps, claiming it’s a cheaper way to finish metal because the CNC machine is cutting anyway, and he just ‘didn’t bother to polish it’. That is wrong. It costs more to ship with this type of finish than with a smooth finish.
This is my opinion (although the machining cost is a fact). Obviously feel free to disagree, that’s what these platforms are for. Obviously, don’t buy it if you feel the price-value isn’t there.

Enjoy the music and hobby!

Why does a rough tool path finish cost more than a fine finish?

Why does a rough tool path finish cost more than a fine finish?

It’s not a rough tool path finish. It looks like it is but it’s not.
Because it requires multiple tools to achieve the finish vs just one tool. And you can’t hide errors.
