I say this again, REAL SLOW. Those dies are EXPENSIVE. There is a minimum run to cover the setup are the mill. Nobody is going to hammer you 3 or 4 blank, or its going to cist you a small fortune per blank. You have to make more than few props to more a team or two to recover the money. Now MAYBE Ron is a very forward looking with a lot of confidence he can move that many props to justify the cost. Right now, I don't see it, but I have been wrong before. But when I talked to Ron, he was doing props for Tony's K and I couldn't even tell you they were CNC'd, very possibly could have been. But I pretty certain they were welded. When I spoke with him, he was more capable of making a CNC's prop from a trace mapping of my prop, but it would be welded.

Now maybe SFV2R2R is more coneected than I am, and has lunch 3 times a week with Ron and is more in the know. Maybe things have changed. MAYBE.

But do you think you could CNC me a prop from the same blanks Ron used on SFV2R2R Schiada?? Because Ron sure as fuck couldn't
I actually only have lunch with him 2 days a week! All those forgings are the same thickness. He can make anything from Rankins SS props to my Schiada prop to Eddie Knox's TFH prop from them. The only new forging he had to buy to make a different prop for was Linder's Schiada SR22. It was like a 12x17 or something like that. All his new prop's that come out of that box of forgings are CNC'd and NOT WELDED.
