UK suppliers (Taig Mill)

Hi all,



I'm looking for a UK (or European) supplier for the Taig mill. I understand Peatol is Taig's UK distributor, but their website doesn't mention the mill (only the lathe) and you can't email them.



So, anybody know of a UK/European supplier? If anybody has had a Taig mill (or similar) imported to the UK direct from the US I'd like to hear how it went.



Along the same lines: any recommendations for UK suppliers of stock, hand tools and the rest of the paraphernalia associated with making parts would be appreciated. I live in Sheffield, in case anybody else reading does too and knows of local suppliers.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I'll ask on uk.rec.models.engineering after a respectable time from my first post there.

Idiomatic usage can lead to confusion, especially when communicating between the US and the UK.

"Look out for" as in "beware of", or as in "keep your eyes open to find"?

Good Luck, DoN.

Since Tony is an exemplary human, it would be the latter. Tony to my knowledge (saw him two weeks ago...) does not sell the Taig CNC mill. Tony does sell an excellent rotary CNC index controller:

well as a book about the Taig lathe.

the dealer for the Taig CNC in the UK, as far as I know. You can just contact Taig directly and ask them:

Thanks. I see the good old $1 = £1 exchange rate applies. That looks like a major markup with the current exchange rates, even taking into account import duties.
