Not is the web site silly fluff, the "contact" email address bounces.

I want to buy some tips for my SP200 soldering station, and they offer
me not a clue.

Try looking on Digikey's web site. They sell the tips.

Cool. Thanks. I couldn't find that on their web site.

The SP200 series doesn't include fork tips for desoldering
surface-mount stuff, so I figure I can buy some wide chisel tips and
dremel them into forks.

Try someone that actually sells the things directly, rather than the
manufacturer? I have no idea if Metcal sells retail direct, but most
don't. You perhaps don't regard yourself as retail, but unless you have
a salesdroid at Metcal to call, retail would be faster.

Not an exhaustive search:

I assume the tips are plated. If you dremel them, the areas without
plating would deteriorate rapidly.
