Hello from the States

[1Jumper10]

Hmm? yeah that sucks. I see a lot of guys on your side of the Atlantic struggling to get the right epoxy hardener as well. There is a guy here in the states that I got my epoxy from that might export?? Its Mike at Precision Epoxy.
I have no idea of the import/export laws and how they apply but, would it be possible to receive a "gift" of an item such as a ClearPath servo sent from one private individual to another?

Epoxy is no problem in Uk but in parts of Europe I'm not so sure.

Regards the ClearPath and "Gift" I'm not sure but we could try if you want to send me some as Gift. .Lol
What kind of Money do they charge in States for clearpath say around 2 or 3Nm.?

3Nm is about 424 oz/inches. They want $284 plus shipping for the one in the link. Coincidentally, this is the same servo that is on my Z axis in the video link. That ballscrew actuator is a 5mm pitch screw. ClearPath makes essentially 3 different versions of each model: A high torque model, a high speed model and an intermediate model between those two. The "S" model linked in this post is their high torque version.

Erm with state of £ - $ at moment makes them quite expensive. Could probably get AC servos form China for same or Cheaper.

Maybe when we finally get out of EU and rest of europe plus the "Remain" lot realise we did the right thing the pound will come back stronger and we can do some sensible Business. . . . . . . Hopefully before "Trumpton" starts WW3. . .Lol

Indeed. Here's to a better future

But, all the same, I'm not opposed to helping out a friend on the forum if the exchange rate becomes more favorable. Like I said in my initial post, I've learned a lot from the members here and would like to give back if I could.

It would be a lot cheaper if Trump made us the 51st state..lol We could be the state where people from Arizona go to experience real rain.. not that cheap stuff they have down there :)

Yeah, we could tell California to bugger off (proper usage??) and bring you guys into the Union. Thats a win-win situation all around

Yeah I often wonder when I watch US shows if they actually realise what bugger / to bugger means ?? lol

On the note of sending things from the US , I use to know a guy when I was a contractor who worked for JP Morgan around the US same bank as I did, he use to send me stuff all the time, like leather police Biker Jackets and .. well anything I asked (legal before you ask Me NSA man) !. I use to send the money direct to his account or post him what he wanted from here in exchange, and he would post my shopping list to me , never had a problem with customs never declared anything .. I use to do the same thing when I was stationed in Singapore, sent it by snail mail / Ship in big dive equipment bags, never once stopped or checked by customs..

I don't have any problem ordering ClearPath servos in USA from Germany direct from Teknic. It is all done online. You just have to contact them about the shipping or you will pay way too much for shipping.
