Hi Bob
So far so good, may have an Aussie supply but waiting for them to get back to me.
Found a US source. US$19.95 but minimum international order is $200... grrrrr... and freight = ?
Found a UK source. £19.95, no minimum, but freight = ?
Keep in mind the feedscrew is ~500mm long, enough for many worms and hobs. Dunno how I'll go cutting it.
Here's hoping the Aussie source comes thru.
