Hello all,
Anyone get small packages from Axminster power tools sent over to France, need a few small bits and bobs, sharpening stone being one, just trying to guage (need a new one of them aswell!) the cost. OR is their a good french equivalent (pro quality).
Thanks in advance.
here are some sites of french companies - mostly pro stuff but occasional cheap stuff too
http://www.otelo.fr/fr ask for their catalogue, it has everything imaginable on the engineering side among lots of other stuff
http://www.hmdiffusion.com/ woodworking stuff
http://www.metiers-et-passions.com/accueil - I have a feeling that this one is really the same company as Otelo but aimed at not so pro

Sorry this is late but I've just found the thread (not Twinks') Axminster chage £5 for a kilo package.
If you are after a sharpening stone then you won't do any better than DMT diamond whet stones. I had my first one about 15 years ago. A small pocket stone that I use to sharpen everything from router bits to scalpels and stanley knife blades. Good kit and much better then their own diamond stones. When I bought my DMT bench stone it was the first time in my life that I had really straight plane blades, very sharp too!!
If you are in doubt about anything that you are buying the tech guys there are VERY helpful and when I wanted to resurface our pine dining table I asked about a elect planer and I was advised to get a belt sander by them. It was about £20 cheaper and did the job wonderfully.
Axminster, I love em... I don't work for them either and never have...
