Buying machinery Glasgow

Post by lolo walks »

Hello,

Looking for morso/under pinner both foot operated. Perhaps a mount cutter too.

I have looked on eBay and seen some perfect machines. However, transport form England to Scotland isn't that easy.

Any recommendations on where I can buy some in Scotland??

Although it would be very nice to pick up what you want on your door step :D it's not always possible. :(

When I was looking for a pneumatic under pinner and compressor I did bide my time but to no avail :? I ended up buying exactly what I wanted at the right price from a retired framer in Aberdeen :shock:

Try FW Holroyd in Glasgow.
They sometimes have equipment for sale although not sure if they are still doing this now they are Centrado.

If they don't, I'm sure Ken will know someone who's looking to sell what you're after...
Thanks,

I beg to disagree :giggle:

Maybe not easy if you are doing it yourself. Why try and do it yourself ?

The roads are chocker block with transport companies moving goods all over the UK and to overseas
If you want to move something, ask a couple of transport co. for a price.

You might be pleasantly surprised.
