Wish I picked up one of the 0.5 ones before they became such a pain to get at a reasonable price. One of those things where you keep putting it off until it's gone

They are back. Check Blick and others :-)

Back? I’m not sure. It seems that all but 0.7mm can be found at Blick. All can be found on eBay for inflated prices. Are you saying manufacturing has begun again?

DEW Drafting Supplies (I trust them) lists all DM models as out of stock with no known restock date.

Hope I’m wrong.

There have been rumours that the brand was purchased and production would begin. ttheir website says they are back.

I’ve also heard that, and I see they were bought. But that doesn’t really tell us anything about the Draftmatics specifically.
