Fisch-tools?

Post by reible »

I'm having problems locating their web site. I had an address

http://www.fisch-tools.com/en/

but now it is timing out....

They are based in Austria and been with us since 1946, renown for their drill bits.

There products seem to be still online at various stores, I really hope they have not gone out of business or some such fate.

Anyone know anything on the subject.

OK that is good news.

Tried all three browsers I have and get the same info on each. Tried the smart phone my son loaned me... nothing lets me see the site.

Flushed my dns and still nothing. Have to hope it is a problem somewhere in the web rather then local and when I try later it will come up.

Thanks for your efforts!

Ed,
It came up on my 'puter, too.
Went to Amazon to price them.
Out of my league.

I got the web page without problems. I too went to Amazon to price them. I didn't see the plastic pen drill bits, but they sound really good from their Web page. Plastic pen stock is tough to drill.

No problem accessing on my end. Looking on Amazon, their prices for brad point and forester bits aren't overly high for quality bits IMO - matter of fact, I don't think the prices are any higher that SS sells their brad point bits for.
'78 Mark V 500 #27995 (my Dad bought new)
'82 Mark V 500 #96309
Two '47 10E's (serial#4314+6149) - one a dedicated drill press and the other a lathe
Two 10E/ER in parts slowly being restored…#26822 and #????? (SS plate missing)

Tried again today and still can't get there. Might have to change DNS to see if that will let me get there.

I have the 7mm pen drill and I can't find my notebook with what speed to run it at. As I recall it was something like 2500 rpm or maybe even a bit higher. This getting old and forgetting things has some advantages but not when trying to pick the correct rpm.

Could some helpful person who can get to the site see if they can find the correct rpm?

Ed,
I got to the site but couldn't find that bit. Amazon has it but there is nothing in the specs that talks about speed.
Sorry.
