Hmm looks like its no more
I wasn’t sure if it was just me.
I haven’t gotten a response to email either.
I did get an email from Mike Mahoney saying that Kel is still in business.
All I want is to get a standard center saver with the features that Mike Mahoney shows in his YouTube video
 
Lee Valley does have them but they do not have the modifications that Mike Mahoney shows on his YouTube video. Mike’s has a support to hold the tool up against the top of the tool holder, the turret has a hole to hold the rest for hollowing bowls.
I’m hoping when craft supplies gets theirs in they have the upgrades.
 
I tried to get in touch through Lee Valley last year for parts for a balancer. They asked Lee Valley to have me contact them directly, then I was ghosted, so I gave up. I think we're stuck with whatever they export to vendors this side of the pond.

Yes they do now. I was looking for one last summer and nobody had one. Lee Valley and others were out of stock for around seven months.
 
I tried looking at Craft Supplies, Lee Valley & Timberbits and all are "back ordered". I'm guessing we're seeing the beginning of the extinction.
 
I was on the phone with someone at Craft Supplies the other day, they told me that Kel has not been feeling well so he stopped production. However he has started again, and the should have the system in stock soon if they don't already.

I also had tried them 6-7 months ago with no luck! But I lucked out and found a std set from a guy in USA who never needed it! So made out ok!
 
I had also heard that Kel was not feeling well and had taken some time off. Hope he is okay, but most of us are not spring chickens, as my Grandma used to say....
