Metalworkers may be interested in this

[FenceFurniture]

Doing my usual trawl through the sites I visit regularly and it occurred to me that metalworkers may be interested in the Wabeco promotion for June. They have a pretty big range of stuff from mills to digital measuring, all sorts of vices, turning tools and so on. The prices that I checked were around 20% off the usual, and are shown in the PDF (https://www.wabeco-remscheid.de/index.php?cat=c1060_Special-campaign---June-weeks-for-downloading.html).

By default they include VAT which is 19% but that doesn't apply to exported goods, and they show both prices.

Maybe I should include Wabeco in the Group Buy (see sig below), trouble is my knowledge of metalwork is Sgt Schultz. There are those who say the same of my woodwork knowledge.

thanks for the thought, althuogh in my opinion by the type you allow for the echange rate plus frieght and GST on some items when it arrives you don't make much of a saving, when buy from the UK

I agree, there are better deals for Metal working gear in the US. The German and other European gear can be very nice, but their prices are also "nice"

Bob, that being the case would you be able to drop some suggestions either here or in the Group Buy thread please? Gotta remember I'm Sgt Schultz.

Thanks Kev, that sort of info is very useful indeed. That's quite possibly the case with other similar things that are not their core business such as digital measuring, disc sander, drill sharpener etc. I would think that they make their own lathes and so on. Certainly I know that the drill stands are made in Germany.
