Carriers?

Has anybody any experience of DHL and/or Parcels2Go?

I have to choose one for the transport of a very small lathe.

 

Used both with no problems for UK, Europe and Hong Kong

 

I've used Parcel2Go and been happy. You could also try
www.parcelmonkey.com

 

Ta. Parcels2Go is cheaper than DCL for this particular parcel.

 

Ta much.

 

Thanks, filed.

(sender's offered DHL or Parcels2Go, but I think I've heard Parcelmonkey
mentioned favourably before, somewhere.

 

Ta. Already plumped for Parcels2Go, as no-one's slagged it off, it's
cheaper than DHL, and DHL does the carrying anyway.

(I brought a similar article home on the bus a couple of weeks ago - in
a carrier bag. Super Adept, FYI.)

Now looking for a minute 3-jawed chuck, ditto 4-jaw independent, and any
Morse-taper tools, size 0.

Rocking-horse shit, those MT0 tools. Given a chuck I might have to make
some.

 

User them, no problems.

DHL managed to drop test the VFD I bought off Ebay (for *my* lathe, funny
how small a world etc. etc.!), bloke held onto it while he got the sig',
then scarpered while I was thinking "It shouldn't rattle like this, should
it?... 'Ere, YOU!" - but he'd gone by then

The seller tried to get some compensation out of 'em, but that involved
sending it to 'em (at his expense) and them inspecting it (minimum 2 week
turnaround) - so he just gave me a discount and I glued it back together,
fitted a new LCD.

We was not impressed. Make sure you open it and check before you sign

I had a look, smallest MT tooling I've got is 2MT, and that's only a ropey
drill chuck and a couple of dead centres. Mind you, I could probably spin
the Super Adept in my 4-jaw...

EM, DYSI?

 

Noted - but it is my custom anyway...

I know I could have spun the Super Adept in the 4-jawed chuck on my old
Cincinnati - but that (if it hasn't been junked) is rusting in a garage
in Stornoway, and was worn to wossname in any case. Jib-strips had to be
adjusted mid-job sometimes...)

So, I'm looking for a big one (Oo-er!) too, with a two an a half inch
throat (double oo-er!) as a minimum.

 

There was an old TV show where they'd bring on someone who'd rattle on
in the lingo of their profession or hobby. An audience member had to
guess what they were talking about. Not many winners, AIR.

 

VFD - variable frquency drive, what one such as I would hack a bit so a 415v
3-phase lathe motor can be run from domestic 240v in the Shed Of Danger.

LCD - liquid crystal display, like them fancy new tellies, only tiny, VFD
for the programming of.

DHL - Don't Handle, Lob.

That old TV show sounds good - remember the title?

Nah. It was just one segment from a variety show. AIR, they'd do it
once a week or so. Maybe Johnny Carson.
