Hello everyone, My names Richard, I'm a returning lurker that has just bought a little peatol lathe from the bay hoping to do some turning/machining for fun and parts fabrication for my little business. When I receive my lathe and tooling I will hopefully be asking all sorts of basic questions and showing some of my work If anyone has any links to a good metals supplier that will ship internationally I'd be most thankful Richard |

Hi Richard :wave: Welcome to the collective :borg: I think you will find the answers to you questions here... including some to questions you didn't even ask :smart: What sort of business do you have? Eric |

Hi Richard, Welcome to MadModder. The problem with shipping metals is the weight and cost. I fly to Limoges or Bergerac (the latter in two days' time) but with Ryanair so baggage weight is precious or I'd bring you some. I think we have other members who live in France, so maybe one of them could assist with suppliers there. Andy |

Eric --- End quote --- I have a small engine chainsaw/mower/strimmer repair service that i run along side my property maintenance business, It's mostly parts swapping and re-threading/winding pull cords but I've passed over a couple of jobs that i could have made a custom fitting for with a mill or lathe. Also I've been looking at playing with or re-purposing some of the old strimmer engines in to something useful ??? |
