Maybe I'll order my bits from the States.

They won't let you ! I tried to order a couple of belts online; it took my order everything seems fine, then the next day I got a call from Hardinge UK saying "you don't want to order from the US you'll have to pay import duty..." etc. etc. When I pressed him for the UK price it was three times that quoted online, plus VAT plus carriage - I told him where to go!.

I then got an email from Hardinge US saying they do not except orders from UK!!!

(I am waiting for my brother to go to the US later this year - he'll have some shopping to do :))

Fortunately I have an office in the States, I'll get them to buy them and forward to me. Should save a fair bit that way. If you need bits let me know, maybe we can get them in one hit.
