I may be wrong but I know I'm very close. Ramón Wodkowski is around [ Bob -
I'm ashamed that you quoted a price here that isn't even remotely close to Ramón's price for a reface. It puts EVERTHING you quote in doubt. Someone may have told someone who told you a lie. I would make sure you discount anything that so-called 'source' told you. Mark Charette, List Moderator ] for mouthpiece refacing.

Mojo - Dental wax is a great idea. Way to go! Finally someone is helping and not causing trouble. Thinking smart.

Yes CAD started first, then CNC, but CNC really started kicking in with Windows XP with smaller machine shops, because the CNC machines were so expensive. CAD drawing wasn't expensive at all. That started before Windows 95. Now we are seeing 3D Printing pop up everywhere, but in most cases it is way too slow, soon it will be faster and cleaner. What is 3D printing? Look it up. It is amazing.

As I wrote above - just call Zinner. CNC takes a lot longer to make a mouthpiece, whereas a mold takes seconds to pop out a mouthpiece. My guess Zinner is doing both, one for a general Zinner blanks and maybe some for Greg Smith (and others) who I've talked with in great detail and he surely is using CNC machines for Gregs mouthpieces. It's pretty common to have more than one machine in a machine shop.

For example most likely a machine shop has more than 1 hammer and more than one hired molder.

My offer is still available for $275. It would have been no charge except for those few people that seem to want to cause trouble. They wrecked it for everyone. I don't care if some people only charge $10 to reface a mouthpiece. This is my cost to fix a Zinner. It's more work than just refacing a mouthpiece.
