You may find that the dealer in France has an exclusive arrangement with Omega and that it is
not possible for you to buy directly from the factory.

StubbyLatheUSA (www.stubbylatheusa.com) is now the exclusive importer in the US. The
exclusive arrangement is not for the purpose of jacking up the price, limiting your options
or any such thing. It makes it possible for you to get the kind of continuity and service
after the sale which we all would like to have. I hope that you can see that it is just not
possible for the factory to support owners world-wide -- Omega is a relatively small company
and needs to focus on production and development of new products.

I am considering turning semi-pro, and I believe I want a Stubby.
However, I do _not_ want to buy it through the US, being norwegian,
and all, direct shipping lines to the aussies, and all that,
relatives down under and all that (an ignorant bunch, when it comes
to woodturning, but nice, and all that).

Wherever I turn on the net, I seem to be channelled back to
some US link or other. I do not want that.

I want the aussies!

Who can help?

Google "and all that", can help :-)

Yes, thanks, I had tried "Stubby Lathes", stubbylathes, Omega Tools, and
whatnot,
but this was helpful, indeed, - Thanks!

(Although i was passed on to an "international dealer in France,
that is something like living in New York, and being given the address
to a shop in Houston.)
