It would be nice if they put them back into production soon.

Given that Jim Byrnes sadly passed away all too soon in October, that may not happen. More info here:

Byrnes Model Machines Home Page

Byrnes Model Machines produces precision-engineered miniature Table Saws and Thickness Sanders for Ship Modelers, Dollhouse Makers and Model Railroad Builders; every machine has an accuracy measured in thousandths of an inch.

I believe the Byrnes business is back up running. I'm not certain about the details. If you close out the memorial announcement on the page you will see that Donna posted the normal holiday notification that they are off for the holidays and will return. Two weeks ago I was able to go into the order page and create an order. This was not the case right after Jim passed. I did not yet place the order. I wanted to see IF I was able to order.

To Y.T., good luck finding a used Byrnes table saw. I honestly don't see any owner of his saw ever parting with it. There is none better available IMHO. But, maybe after the holidays you can see if you can purchase a new one from Byrnes.

Ken, you can only buy accessories for existing equipment, and I assume it was just stuff Jim had in stock when he passed or stuff Donna knew what to order for him. You can't buy the machines anymore. Not unless Donna sells the business to someone who picks it up.
 
Ah, ok. My assumption was based on the machines still being on the site and I was able to put one in my cart, but didn't check out. I guess with all that has happened Donna and the family just haven't pulled them off the site.

Thanks for the clarification.

This is fantastic news! I have the saw and thickness sander (planer) which I feel are the two things a scratchbuilder needs..the rest is optional in my opinion..I used an exacto knife and razor saw for years.

Bite the bullet and get the disk sander while you're at it. "In for a penny, in for a pound." They aren't cheap, but the "Byrnes Trifecta" will change your life and you might save on shipping the entire lot at one time. You won't be sorry. I use the thickness planer quite a bit, but I use the disk sander much more. It's the only way to go for really accurate shaping and fitting. Great for sharpening cutting edges, too! (Use aluminum oxide paper.)

Is the disc sander back in production? When I ordered 3 months ago, they only had the saw and thickness sander.
