Sherline lathes & accessories have really gone up in price in the last 2 years alone, Millhill Supplies price list on Sherline you must add on VAT + postage. I bought my Sherline long bed lathe package & accessories from Millhill in March 2019. Here's what I paid just 2 years ago & the price now, everything has gone up around 50% in that time.

2019 2021

4410A Lathe Package £855 inc VAT. £1284 inc VAT

1270 Compound slide £126 inc VAT. £189 inc VAT.

1030 4 jaw indi Chuck 3.1" £135.99 inc VAT. £204 inc VAT.

1076 4 Jay S/C Chuck 3.1" £166.24 inc VAT. £249.48 inc VAT.

Just a sample of what I bought from Millhill in 2019, all the other accessories sherline list have gone up around 50% across the range here in the UK.

Martin,

I spoke to Kevin at Mill Hill late last year and learnt that their policy is to buy in stock then keep prices stable until the next stock purchase, when prevailing exchange rates will impact the price.

Looking at the post Brexit exchange rates we saw the pound falling significantly from about $1.50 early 2016 to $1.30 after the referendum. There was some recovery and by early 2018 it had recovered to $1.45 but slid again through the year to $1.25 by December hovering around this level until a recovery as a 'deal' looked likely. Now about $1.35

Its quite possible that your purchase was of stock bought early 2018, and now were looking at stock bought late last year. A large chunk of the price change.

Looking up item 1030 - the 4 jaw chuck - on eBay the delivered price - tax and postage paid - is estimated at about $225 - about £160 or 26% price hike. Its part of the reason that I check eBay imports from the US.

Yup - they have gone up in price but the financial analyst in me (my former occupation!) would love to see what has happened to mini mill prices. Might do that.

ps - I believe Millhill prices are inclusive of VAT - but not 100% certain so anyone looking to buy please check.
