Help me buy a QCTP
#24
Well done Pete - you will not regret that purchase!

I have purchased a few items from the US over the years and whilst my preference has always been to bring them back in my suitcase after my annual business trip, I have also had items shipped out via the US postal service. Touch wood - I have never had an issue.

When I purchased my QCTP (same size as yours) it was divided and packed into three of the large USPS flat rate boxes. At the time (2011), the total postage was around the $150 mark. Yes it is a little steep but when you consider what you would pay for one at Hare and Forbes it is worth it. Besides, they don't stock this particular size and would screw you hard for the Dickson or spline type.

One thing I would think about is asking arvid to see if there is enough room to stick another #2 tool holder into and buy one online and have it shipped to his address. I did this when I purchased mine but the box sizes may have changed since then. As has been noted previously, you will need to change out the M12x1.75 dog point screws to some quality ones. If you like, I can get the details of where I sourced mine from - they are over East somewhere.

Congrats on 30 years. I'll notch up 17 this year.
