Title: Is orbital machining still around?

What’s in the title! I only recently got into the hobby, but I’ve fallen in love with OM’s work… since they’re so hard to find on the secondary market, is OM still around and making hilts?

Nope. He's basically retired.

Thanks Jango! I guess I’ll have to keep eyes out for his older models…

OM is retired. The company.
Acerocket is spry gentleman and is still working.
