VB 36 Lathes

[Jacktownhill]

I just contacted Hegner to purchase another Faceplate for my VB36 & got my request re-directed to Germany ?

Is there a UK Distributor for this once classic UK product ?

Hi Jack,

Hope you are well.

TSL sold the VB side of the business to Herr Steinert in Germany. Check out the Woodturning Group on LinkedIn which has all the details.

There's no news about a UK rep for the product but I'm told the deal with TSL was only closed about a week ago.

Regards

Thank you for that update David, (Long time no speak?)

OK so it's getting difficult (in the short term at least) to find spares for my VB36.

It's probably a forlorn chance that anyone might just have a 1.5 inch 6 Tpi Keyhole Face Plate they might wish to sell??

Jack,

Us VB owners are quite resourceful so do not despair!  I;ll email you direct (hope you haven't changed your email recently).
