This is my thinking so thanks for the input. Other than the distance it's no different from shipping a pallet from the inside the UK. The vendor has stated they take responsibility for getting the machine to me in one piece and will sort any issues, and the 5 year warranty is the same as The UK...

Good point. I've had a pre sales invoice with all the info now which has the following: 'The exporter of the products by this document declares that, except where otherwise clearly indicated, these products are of European Union preferantial origin' So that seems to all be in order. The CTN...

This is the email I had on enquiry from the seller 'The shipping costs would be € 230 excluding VAT. Our forwarding agent “Schenker” organizes the export customs clearance in Austria, but the import customs clearance in Great Britain would have to be done by you. We would also need an EORI...

That's the one I though tbh

Yeah but of a minefield! I 'think' I've nailed it down to here https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/8465?country=AT&day=10&month=1&year=2025 But again not entirely sure. Wondering how much an agent would cost to make sure the paperwork is in order. Probably eat in to the saving I'd...

Thanks for the comments. I should have put a bit more info in the post perhaps The lathe (statos) is new and is direct from the manufacturer/supplier. It has a 5 yr warranty and I've confirmed that if anything goes wrong with it in shipping or after then it's covered for damage and/or parts...

Has anyone got any recent experience of importing any woodworking machinery from the EU? Did you use an agent for the custom clearance forms etc or manage to sort it yourself? Is it worth the hassle?! I'm tempted by a lathe coming from Austria. Even with extra shipping it's going to be £400...

So Axminster have 15% off till Friday which makes a pretty saving on the 406 bringing it in line with the Regent at around £2k. There's another £100 off too if top cashback is valid Anyone got a Regent that they could recommend? The 406 always seems to be rated but there doesn't seem to be much...

You're right. It's a 350. Are the guide rails similar to the 250?

Bumping up. Can anyone help with this?

Excuse the pun but I'm looking for some guidance. I picked up a sabre 250 not so long ago. The upper guide bearings are way out on the righthand side. Fully pressed in they are still 5mm or so from the blade. When in the highest position they are closer but I still can't meet the blade on this...
