Milling machines in UK (was Ballscrews supply (in the UK))

Stuart, Hi

The best place I know in the UK is Chester
http://www.chesteruk.net

They sell all the asian import mill/drills and lathes, but include
delivery in the price and are at least 10% cheaper than Machinemart or
[insertbigsupplychain here].

Very happy with them. I got the E25 for £700, but I wish I'd spent the
extra £200 and got the E30 (with the bigger table). Ah well.

Cheers,
Abby
