Time estimate for mihec mold

[foxtrapper]

I'm in on my first Mihec group buy. The buy is now closed . Anyone have an estimate on how long between buy closed and notification to send cash? Thanks

[tomme boy]

About a year

[foxtrapper]

Thanks

I guess I have been lucky then, never had to wait nearly that long.

I have never waited a year. Maybe 1 to 3 months has been my experience.

Mine was much faster than a year. Plus it is a very good mold.

In my experience, after the group buy is closed and money is sent Mihec mould delivery is a couple of weeks depending on postal service.

The wait for Miha to catch up and actually make the mould can be a year or more but after the buy is closed he is machining and delivery is pretty quick.

avoid Mihec molds because he doesnt have any kind of timeline unlike NOE, I dont like suprises so I trend away from him. Too bad too as I hear his RG molds are the berrys...

[MT Chambers]

I am waiting for molds from Mihec and Noe and I think they will be 1 year for one and 1 1/2 years for the other, these will be my last group buys.

[btroj]

Mihec doesn't make RG moulds, NOE does.

As for no time line, so? I get on the list and wait. I don't pay til he has the moulds ready and sends me an invoice. This is no different from NOE buys.

His moulds are well worth the wait and the money.

[Bardo]

The original post was asking once the buy closes how long is the wait. Not once he signs up how long will he wait.

The guys who badmouth Mihec and NOE for long wait times were obviously not here for the year plus wait for crappy Lee group buy moulds that might or might not meet specs. You guys keep bashing NOE and Mihec, and I will continue to buy the best moulds (and designs) currently available. We are living in the Golden Age of Cast Boolit moulds and many just don't realize it.

I never understood the group buy thing annaway

[btroj]

What is to understand? A group of people agree on a basic design and have a guy make the moulds. Pretty simple to me.

Both these guys tend to have a few extras from each run so they are available for people who didn't get in on the group buy.

The wait is our fault. We swamped a couple small shops. We are lucky to have that option.

Imagine if they joined forces and started a full time production shop.

[btroj]

Well that isn't gonna happen. One is in the us, the other in Slovakia.
I think NOE has also added a dedicated machine for mould production.

We can have fast or we can have good. Not gonna have both. I will take quality every time.

Group buys a a choice guys. If you don't want the wait don't sign up.

Actually, Miha has recently (within the last few months) quit his "regular" job to make molds full time. I see him cutting down his lead times a little, but because demand is so high, it would take 5 or 6 Mihas to get things caught up and stay at less than 2 or 3 months. NOE has recently added new equipment that should help as well, but for either maker as long as the demand is so high you have to expect long delays. Those mills are not cheap and you don't want to get so many that you have to idle one or two.

I don't see or understand the problem........if you don't want one of his molds, buy elswhere.....how hard is that.

If you go into one of these group buys without understanding how they work....you're not doing your homework.........
