Welcome Patrick, we're in the same neighborhood. I've got a Baker Tru Edge but it's definitely not for sale. Hard to find that sort of equipment on the island. I have lathes and a mill so I make my own tooling. The only exception is a louvering tool. I bought it from Neil Dunder, Gogitzit Tools. Very high quality and I can highly recommend dealing with him. He makes all sorts of tooling that will fit any of the Pullmax style machines. If you search the archives of this site you will find lots of posts on tooling and how to make it. Jim.
