Looking for Batson micro-2.5-3- with zirconium/ SIC ring.
Posted by: didier stephan (---.34.93-79.rev.gaoland.net)

Hello .

I have not yet succeeded in finding these rings , Batson micro guides with zirconium rings or SIC ring , size 3 (and 2.5) .
Only see the size 4 with gold zirconium ... I want to find even smaller than 4.

I have not had a positive response? But are they still available?

If not , then i would take the "classic ring material " .


Thank for your help .

D.

as I had mentioned to you in an earlier post you simply need to contact one of the Batson dealers and they should be able to order them. I have yet to see them advertised on any site.

Hello .

Well , I have indeed contacted dealers, one month ago..
And I have received responses, but despite my question ,nothing regarding the micro Baston with special material ring .( zirconium or SIC )

The only answer I learned that there was not enough demand on these rings and then they could not provide me (which I understand perfectly that matter)

I order since some years abroad, and my understanding is that if i get no response, that's signify that my request is impossible !

Then i wonder if they 're still available ?

John , the 3.5 SIC ring from @#$%& , is Fuji, isn't it ? Not Baston i think .

Thank .

D.

Didier,

Go to the Batson's web site, find their contact number and call them up. Ask them about the guides you want. They are nice people work with and will tell you if these guides are still available and where you can purchase them. In addition have you checked with Utmost Enterprises? Since Utmost sells almost exclusively Batson products and are located in the same small town as Batson's Enterprises they also might be able to help you.

Didier,

I know for fact that they exist. I have them with the blue Zirc rings. I got mine from Scott at Fish Sticks. I know that after speaking with Karen at Bingham she is looking to pick some up as well.

I too can attest to the fact that they exist. I’ve used them in sizes down to 2mm in TiCh, gold, Chameleon, and Zirconium, colors.

Didier;
Their lack of reply may be due to you being out of the country. In some cases emails from overseas do not show up to businesses over here.
I know of at least one other builder from overseas whose emails don't get through. Has something to do country to country filtering systems.
I know from personal experience in doing business with the vendors you've been emailing that they have always been very responsive in replying to emails sent over the years.

It may be beneficial to contact your service provider and enquire if this may be the case and ask for info on how to get around it.

Hello .

Steve , yes you're right , i remenber that i have read some problem about some email that never arrived . This would be an explanation .

However I just received an email very encouraging from Utmost !
Baston just told them that if ring can't be supply in SIC , gold or blue are available ; about a month to get them.
And i have to contact an other retailer who might have those guide ( i already know they have the Baston Micro size 4 with gold zirconia ring )

Well finally, I'll be successful!! may be :D
