Due to changes in market conditions surrounding carbide end mills, we are currently receiving orders for our products at levels significantly higher than anticipated.
This sharp increase in demand has caused orders for products with shank diameters of 8 mm and above to exceed our production capacity. As a result, lead times may be longer than usual.
While we are working to strengthen our production system, we may need to limit orders for certain products for the time being in order to maintain a stable supply.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. We remain fully committed to expanding our production capacity and stabilizing supply, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any questions, please contact our sales representative.
