Not sure that you can, www.toolbankexpress.com/shop/buckandryan/ Buck & Ryan are listed as Sorby Dealers, map www.allinlondon.co.uk/locator/locate.php?locate=160315-4

But never shopped there and don't know what stock they will hold.

You may want to get in touch with www.turnersco.com/ and www.chrisfaulknerflowcontrols.co.uk/turners/index.htm which are both London based woodturning clubs and may be better placed to know the local tool shops.

When I visit the USA I often buy things in advance on the Internet and have it delivered to my hotel, that may be a better bet if you know what you want, enjoy your visit and don't forget the weight limit!

Ask any ten woodturners for an opinion on how x is achieved, you can expect at least eleven different answers.

Hello Pete,
Many thanks for helping out with the information I needed. I will visit Buck and Ryan when in London.
We do have a reasonably good supplier in New Zealand but the range is somewhat limited so I'll see first hand what the London store has.
Thanks again.
