We don't sell direct to the public so nothing to buy.

Things are still very much in the early stages, we don't have the appropriate protocols or segmentation of the facility to protect our intellectual property at this point and some things are sensitive/confidential pieces of the manufacturing process we'd prefer not be public. To that end we can't really offer you a 'full tour' if you just drop in... if you make us aware of your visit ahead of time there are parts of the facility we can let you tour though.

As things progress we'll be much more public in terms of coming to see the facility - like all things, it just takes time and right now our primary goal is pumping out tools.

Thank you for the reply, I live just a few miles away in Firestone and have thought about dropping in sometime. Guess I will wait till it is more open.

For this reason alone, my next polisher will be a RUPES. I hear all the time about guys wanting USA made tools. Now you have a top of the line polisher that is made here.

I personally think it is awesome that Rupes is going to assemble tools in the United States. That shows a dedication to quality. The highest quality products come from industrialized nations with free societies, such as Italy, Germany, United States etc. Many people do not care where the products they buy are made, I am not one of those people.
