Robo Hippy - AztecKing - 12-12-2021
Where did Robo Hippy go? I wanted to look at one of his tool rests that go on a grinder that I saw in a video and I can’t find anything online. It looked like a nice unit.

Mr Hippy shut his business down 6-12 months ago. The note on his website said he decided to "retire".

He did retire, but I read somewhere that his design will be brought to market by someone else soon. Hang tight.

He is a great guy and he game me all of his rests and they are excellent to use.

He still posts regularly over at SMC.

The best reason I know is that they didn't get around to getting one while they were being made.

That’s me!

Did you ever catch up with the guy that made these tool rests over on the other site, and if so, did he have any input on if someone else was going to continue to make them? I saw today for the first time and it looked pretty slick.
