The business will be able to produce and sell all their machines on or about January 1, 2026 according to Donna when I spoke to her on 10/9/2025.

Currently available:  4” carbide blades with 24 and 36 teeth available for immediate sale.

If you are sure you want a specific tool as soon as it is available send an email to the business email using the Contact Us link on the website https://www.byrnesmodelmachines.com

Donna reminded me that the Rope Walk Machine will no longer be produced but that they have most of the small accessories for its operation available.

I have the table saw and the disk sander. I don't use them everyday, but sure love them when ever I have the need. Very good news for those of us who recognized the quality of these machines and can inform the unknowing that there still are companies out 

there that produce a product unmatched for a limited audience.

Fantastic and long awaited news! Really hope it would work out, getting in line for a couple of machines :) 

 

Pardon for the provocative question - but do we know who is taking over and what kind of quality standards to expect? Is it licensed to some external company that would produce the machines following the existing design, or is it someone "inhouse" taking over the manufacturing with Donna overseeing the quality?

Very glad to hear this news.  I have the micro-mark table saw, but have been wanting to upgrade to the Byrnes saw for some time now.

Mike:

Donna promises that the quality will be the same.  There is a guy currently working with Donna who was working with Jim and is looking good for taking over the business. 

We ship modelers as a group were very important to her & Jim and it's it's still very important to her to maintain availability of the tools as well as the quality of the tools and she will be closely involved until she is sure the company is maintaining the high standards and then she plans to retire.

This is wonderful that Donna can carry on Jim's legacy...I spent   around six  relaxing hours today  sawing/milling up hundreds of cherry planks for the Winchelsea..    7/32 and 1/4 in by 3/32.. thanks to the sander, all came out well..       

oh I should buy one of those!
