Topic: Filastruder's in the UK.

Hi,
   I'm new to this forum, so hi to every one using this forum. I am comtemplating purchasing a filastruder and filawinder and I am just wondering if there is any body in the UK that has bought one. If so my next question is, do any of you want to sell them. If not I would still like to know your opinions, ie are they worth buying.
   Hoping there will be a few reply,

Regards
Martyn topham

Re: Filastruder's in the UK.

First of all welcome to the forum.

as far as one bing for sale in the UK i do not know.

Is it worth it . That is for you to determine.

From what i have seen the filastuder /winder kits are the most affordable on the market.
There are faster machines but cost thousands instead of hundreds.

Read and reread the filasruder page both Tims sales page and the forum here.

Be sure you are prepared to assemble such a kit. Tools and knowledge.
If you can not read a wiring diagram this kit may not be for you

The sales page states outut is 5 -8 hours per kilo. so the machine is a bit slow.
also you in the uk will need to supply your own power cord.

inventory and assemble the kit as soon as possible after it arrives. Wait 6 months and if something is missing you may be out of luck.
