I was hunting for new probes for my Haimer 3D Taster (I broke a probe), and naturally tried to find one locally. Sure enough H&F had one, how many would you like Sir? ... at $121 each. :oo:
So next thing was to turn to ebay, I had a lot of trouble getting sellers to respond (as I wanted to buy two), so there was a considerable delay there. I use that centering tool a LOT, so I was really missing it in the meanwhile. On ebay the sellers were asking around 42 Euro on average.
While I was waiting for them to reply (some still haven't) a few days later I tried a general search one night, and came across this site. The same probe was 19 Euro ie H&F was 450% more expensive. Now of course we need to add freight to that 19 Euro, so it's not quite that difference but you'll get the point.
Most of their gear is probably too large to ship, but I think the measurement section could be of interest. I bought a number of things and even with the DHL freight (expensive), it came up to not much more than one probe locally.
