546 forum posts 32 photos | Who is there in the UK, or possibly Europe, that stocks Bridgeport spare parts ? I have tried dealing with Sorted in Bristol, absolute nightmare and would not bother with them again, and another company, Goodwin i think, who wanted £30 P+P for three grubscrews, ditto. I know you pay over the odds when you are a one man band or hobbyist trying to buy off professional outfits, but thats taking the wee. I only need a handful of small fiddly parts to have my Bridgeport/Tom Senior finished, in time for a few winter projects. There must be somewhere in Europe that can supply parts efficiently and not be a rip off ? |

![]() 2156 forum posts | Google comes up with very reasonable prices for Bridgeport spares with an American supplier. (sorry I don't know how to do a link) The carriage costs are however prohibitive. Maybe we need to see just how many people run Bridgeports and get an order together to share the cost ? Most of what I wanted over the years is postable in a Jiffy bag. |

1346 forum posts 15 photos | Dont know if this would be of any interest to Members wanting stuff from America,but we have a service here,operated by our Post Office,whereby we can have stuff delivered from America to our local Post Office for a very moderate charge. I have not used that one yet,but I have used the service from UK,where the delivery cost was way over the odds,in one case £12 ! I had me goods delivered for 3.50 Euro ! You can do the Maths yourself. If it would help to have your parts delivered here and have them collected perhaps by a friend visiting,I would be happy to assist. I,m sure something could be worked out. |
