Hi guys I recently sent a message to Rockler in the US enquiring about shipment to the UK for a Dewalt 788 scroll saw, I have just this minute received a reply back telling me yes they can ship to the UK with an additional shipping cost worked out on weight and quantity required Mal

Hi Gill It was you that got me thinking and I surfed the net and came up with this, let's hope the shipping charge not that great.At the moment there is an offer on for the saw plus a light plus the stand for $500 that's about£302.00

Try Grizzly.com here in the US. They're having a big sale on the DeWalt ($459 + only $20 US shipping for the saw, stand and light)
Good luck..... Carter

Hi Mal
So that price includes £230 for transport (ouch!) and is exclusive of tax? I wonder what the Revenue men will charge when it hits our shores. From scouring t'internet, I believe the tax rate is 3.5% plus VAT but I don't know if the cost of transport is subject to tax. If we assume it isn't, I'm guessing you'll have to pay about £56 tax.
So that will give you an overall cost in the region of £580 to £600; I doubt it will be any cheaper but it may be more expensive. A Hegner would cost about £100 more. It would also have manufacturers support and be fully compatible with our electrickery supply. Of course, it's a value judgment which you will have to make.
