I would definately try to sell the bosses on the Grid-lok over the gel piggies. We evaluated both and wound up buying the Gel (for close to the same money). On an MPM if you put enough gel packs in the vacuum box (to support the board) it holds the b

We are looking for a new way to support PCAs in the DEK. I am trying to push for getting grid-locks but have been told they cost to much. Right now we are trying out another support system (hell if I can remember what they are called) like the grid-l

P.S. I evaluated the Red-e-set and didn't think much of them either.

So the Grid-Loks are the best but if it was between the FormFlex or the Red-E-Sets what be the best? Megan

Yep, just finished a 30 day eval. Way cool stuff. Spendy though. The Gel did not solve all scenarios encountered. But, is a fantastic alternative to rigid tooling. I have many Grid Lok systems. There are pro's and cons to both systems. Overall,

Megan, I know that Ovation Products will send Grid-Lok's out for evaluation. They also sell used and demo systems directly. You can contact them from their website at http://www.grid-lok.com Hope this helps. Good luck with your evaluation

From talking to the DEK rep. the Red-E-Sets seam to be the way to go if you are watching cost. We have a 30-day �trial� of them right now so I will post what we learn. I keep trying to talk my manager in to the Grid-Loks but I don't know if that�s go
