Doubt it's worth doing Alan, have you seen how cheap Axminster are shipping it for ? it's peanuts.

I haven't.
I hate the new website and also haven't needed to send anything to canada

I've not looked on the site either. I think it was in this thread, I'm sure it was something like £9 more than what people in the UK are paying which sounds a bargain to me.

Couldn't help myself, I had to unbox & fondle. Absolutely first quality set up, fit and finish is perfect.

Congrats Peter, the Parf tools collection continues to expand, proud to say I own the complete lineup so far.

Hi Richard

Lucky you - they are like hen's teeth due to demand.

Here is a little present for you:


The plans will be available on the Axminster web site soon but I can send them, free of charge, to anyone as long as I have an email address !

Hi Everyone,

I am making a PGS Xtras video right now but would like to remind owners to put a dash of oil on the shaft of the 20 mm bit before it is used each time.

Richard,

What was your final total price including shipping, any duties, tax, etc.?

Hi Everyone

I have had all sorts of questions about the PGS and have tackled the most common in a PGS Xtras video - here is the link:


I am sorry that many people are in a queue waiting for their PGS - the demand has taken everyone by surprise but Axminster are pulling out all of the stops to respond.

Richard,

[member=21260]P2P[/member] - Total was £109.30 including shipping to the US. $157 in real money. [poke] No duties, etc. The invoice shows £83.30 as the item cost and £26.00 for shipping. I'm not sure how they derived the cost as it is listed at £99.96 on their website.

I already tossed the packing slip but I seem to recall the value was posted on it and visible to customs in both countries, so I assume there are no duties collected on imports from GB.

So it appears that I may have the only set in NA.... do I hear any offers?  [big grin]

The £99.96 includes VAT (Value Added Tax) of 20% which as you're not in the UK or EU, you don't have to pay. Hence £83.30.

Thanks Garry - never occurred to me. The 20% "discount" off the listed price covered over 1/2 of the shipping cost. I'll have to keep that in mind in the future when browsing Axminster's website.

Thanks,

RMW

in the extras video you say to only use even spacing (you use 6 holes) . if you used an odd number for the base of the layout triangle would that put the hole half way between 2 rows of holes

have you thought about using other combinations of holes in the parf sticks . changing the holes would move the hole around, it might allow for some useful angles

[member=8712]Richard/RMW[/member] You may still get a separate bill in the mail for import duties.  At least I have when buying a watch from China.  I don't remember who actually sent the bill for the import duties.  May have been the post office or shipper?  Can't remember.

Hi Alan,

Many thanks for the additional thoughts on hole spacing. There are a number of variations of Parf Sticks that may eventually see the light of day. A simple yet accurate angle creation option is a possible accessory at a later stage.

Cheers.

I have produced a pdf version of the plans for the PGS box. I assume if I link it here that people can download it at will.

Here goes:

Message from Axminster today. 

"Due to the unique design of this product, we were expecting demand during the first few weeks to be strong, but we received far more orders than anticipated and it is now out of stock. We are working on manufacturing new stock and are waiting to receive materials from our supplier. The current estimate for this becoming available for despatch is June."

I guess this has turned out to be a hit. Total price with shipping to Montana is £117.30 GBP; $171.23 USD

The only problem I have is my friends now want me to make their table tops. Today's tip.... Keep a lid on this product or come up with a nice fee like a case of favorite beverage....
