Hmmm not much happening here. I've got a job coming up that I could really use an induction heater for. Can't wait any longer, does anyone know if anyone is selling the ones Grant used to in the UK ?

Hi Dwarf :) Yeah, importing a kit, maybe, maybe? Do power hammers need a DC brake? I thought it was for high speed saws? Do lathes, mills, drills , cold saws et etc need brakes? I hope not .... could get expensive. What is the 6mm gap you talk about with a power hammer? How on earth do you guard an air hammer with a 6mm gap? Unless your work is only sheet? Was your hammer an Anyang or Sahinler?

What is the position re CE certification? I tried to buy an induction forge from Grant just before he passed away but he wouldn't ship them to the UK. He said they weren't CE certified and there was a very real risk they would be impounded at customs. From what I know it is VERY expensive to have them certified over here. I assume there is some equivalent of CE certification over in the USA that you will have done and this will "translate" as valid over here. A bit like recognising other countries driving licences???? I do hope so because these kits look really well thought out and useful and I was gutted not to get one of Grants ... lightening wont strike twice will it :)

Hi I've been following this thread with interest for a while now and am very keen to obtain a kit. Do you know how much it will weigh and what is the likely shipping cost to the UK for an ARU kit? When you say the the ARU kit will be slightly over $2000, how much? Thanks in advance Edward
