http://="http://stusshed.wordpress.c...roup-purchase/ is the link to the mass buy, i'm not exactly sure if we could order clamps(spoke too soon), but you could ask him how much you would save buying the clamps through him via Rockler, he has links and stuff in his store.

I had an ms 660 sent from the us cost $150 postage cost $1150 for the saw PHO
now that's a saving

Amazon is an interesting proposition. I still cannot work out what will they ship overseas and what not. For example, they will ship Bessey K 31" but no other size, bigger or smaller. $320 including postage for 3 pairs. The postage was $75.

Clamps arrived in less than a week !

That price would have put the cost over the GST free limit, or did it slip through under the radar?

How are the k bodies, im still undecided on the jets or bessey, the jets clamp face is certainly more substancial, and to buy the jets from macwood international across from carbatec, the jets are much cheaper, bessey 1000mm, $120.00 jet 2.5m is only $110.00

I just received an estimate to send vise parts from US $250 UPS
seems a bit exxy

I find Bessey great but that is all i have so cannot compare. On the other hand if I found a better deal for Jets then for Bessey I woudl have ordered them. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
