W14 Show

[Peter Sefton]

Is anyone going to the W14 Exhibition?

It' usually a great show if you are looking for new machinery, some small stuff there but mainly a big event for the top end large production end of the market.

was going to go today and have a look at CNC's but had to work due to staff shortages. May go in the week.

I'm going Tuesday or Wednesday so long as I can get the time of!
Any one know how the train ticket pricing works? Over £87 from Didcot but £18 from Bicester and less tthan £9 to get there from Didcot how does that work? I thought public transport was to make your traveling easier, just seems to keep you on your toes.

Went yesterday, loads of pretty machines that I couldn't afford, but had enough pocket money to get some blum jigs. Plenty of CNC stuff, tooling, big saws and the like. Worth a trip, if you are in the game.

I am also going today - Looking to replace our CNC with another new one - Maybe you can buy my old one Bob?

I have gone to the last two but don't feel there is enough to make the trip worthwhile this time. The Weinig Cube was a highlight last time.

Crispy,
Slightly off topic but have a look at Tickety Split on MoneySavingExpert (Martin's Money Saving tips) for saving on train tickets.

I am going to pop back tomorrow for the Timber Expo.

Had a great day at W14 never even entered the Timber Expo

The timber expo was utter rubbish!! The highlight of it was seeing a piece of medite Tricoya that has been submerged in water for the last 5 years!! Which hadn't moved one little bit!! No swelling or anything!! Amazing really.

Might have been more interesting if it had been in and out of the water for the last five years.
