Exocet hollowing tool

>A couple of years ago I bought an Exocet hollowing tool at a woodworking show here in Portland, Maine. The seller, Harry Mamalink(sp?) was from New Zealand. The tool usually comes with an eliptical tip but it was late in the day and he only had round tips left. So I paid extra for the round tip and he said he'd send me the elliptical tip. Never got it. I e-mailed him a few times and he said he would send it but never did. I complained to the magazine that sponsered the show and they said they would look into it but I never got it. Now one end of the round tip has broken. Has anyone heard of this guy? Is he still in business? Has he ripped off anyone else. These tools were for sale through one of the turning catalogs for a while but I haven't seen them listed recently. Thanks for any help,

>Steven,

My dad bought the Exocet from Harry Memolink at the very same meeting. He's experienced a few problems getting through to him as well (in this case over replacement hardened screws). I saw Harry in Worcester, MA last November, where he handed me the screws, and he says he had been having import/export headaches since 9/11, (he's based in New Zealand) and now has a second office near Chicago, so he can work part time out of the USA. His business is called Link Technologies, I believe, so you may find him on the web with a US-based web site nowadays.

Great product, but pretty spotty service. Maybe that's improved ???

Safe Spinning,

>Steve,

Try: linktech@ihug.co.nz

I correspond with him occasionally. I have both the Standard Exocet and the Super Exocet. I prefer the round cutter to the eliptical.

>I just got an E-mail from Harry. Wow! I should have found this place a long time ago. Let's hope he sends me the tip I paid for all those years ago. Thanks for all your help and kind replies.
