Hello, I apologise for this. We did have a few days when our Royal mail was down so some parcels were taken to the post office. Please email me josie@mtmc.co.uk and I will process a refund for your postage.

Fast delivery of DeWalt spares

Wanted spares for my DeWalt drill. Their website had good drawings for what seemed the whole range of drills. I was able to order exactly what I needed and at a reasonable price. They sent the parts by Royal Mail 24 hour service to arrive the next day.

Woodworking Machine Tools Spares

Easy to navigate their website for the parts required and delivery was prompt. Spares were packaged well and protected also.
I have used this company before for spare parts and consider them to be very reliable and a trusted source for woodworking machine tool spares.

Truly excellent service

Truly excellent service. Had my DeWalt drill taken in for repairs. Team was incredibly helpful, they arranged for a courier to collect my drill, and return it. Repairs were done within a week and to a high standard.
Will certainly recommend using these guys and I fully intend to use them in the future for any tool purchases and any repairs.
Well done to Miles Tool and Machinery Centre. You have achieved high standing in my book.
