499.00 is a joke
Even the bishop is 400.00 and i think that's over priced

I havent used a Halo so i cant say 499 is a complete joke.lolo as im sure they are great machines but i do have to say that after starting off my rotary quest with rotary works it is hard for me to justify spending that much on a machine when the RW has done everything i have asked of it. Only downside really is they are not the most pleasing to looke at, when compare to the cnc machins. Another added bonus is the motor are really powerful and dont cost much and Dale usually sends replacemenst at no charge.. All that being said i am gonna venture out and get a high end machine just deciding on which one first..

I like the bigger torquey motors lately..
A motor option that will fit the same way will be nice too...
But every time I hear how well theHALO is doing ,it just means more delay on the vortex.. It just seems like the perfect timing to get the vortex going now rather than after you done with the halo.

The purpose of my post wasn't to dispute a sales prices, but I appreciate the input as well. However how we manufacture the machine is not the cheapest way neither but perhaps the best way to get the streamlined shape. Each manufacture would sell to what makes sense to them in terms of their ROI.

Yes an adjustable halo can be converted to fixed. The main cost of the Halo doesn't reply on a spring and adjustment knob so $50 off seems about right to us. The main cost goes into manufacturing body, Motor, and the main parts.

This is just an idea, and I liked to voice it to hear the feedback.
Regarding the Vorteks, one of the main challenges is that you can't use the same cam. It needs be removed and a new fitting piece needs to be inserted instead.

AGGREE WITH THAT IDEA 100%

We already established this in Gastons initial post, and why the Caps? We all get this homie it doesn't need to be repeated in Caps. If it's the same operation and function then it will be good for new customers who don't have a halo and want a choice, but if this is the case it does nothing for existing halo owners because obviously we could just tighten the give knob down. Perhaps the question isn't being answered because its premature and the machine has not been built yet to know if it will function the same or different. Pertaining to the vortex the cam switch is only one screw so I don't see it being a big deal as long as there is a body/cam combo as well as a complete machine. I'd like to see this over a modified halo for non adjustment if the operating system is the same as the give knob tightened down. New machines and new operating systems is what we are all really waiting for.

Yes please, I like rotaries with no give, if i want give i will use the coils lol. but yes, no give would be awesome. less hassle. ((even thhough its already easy to clean and take apart lol ))
