hi
I've just brought one of these i put a cheeky bid in and got it!
does anyone have any info about them as they don't seem to be listed on the armac website. gerrymet seem to grind custom cutters. but not much else.
what I will say is its a large and heavy block.
 
I saw that one on eBay, they don't come up for sale too often but they're not a very common piece of tooling either as they were rather expensive new for a block set at around £300 or more, especially if you bought more discs to go with it at over £5 each!

They've obviously recently updated their site as I saw them for sale on there not too long ago, perhaps they're not manufacturing them anymore. I've never used one but I always thought they looked like a complete faff to set up compared to a Euro Block, but the obvious advantage is you can take quite a deep mould comfortably without any risk of breaking the cutters with an Armadillo block and they might be marginally quieter than a limiter block.
