I can't see how these guys are making any money, its not as if its a lose leader, you're not likely to buy a ramp as well.

I wonder what their technical advice is on how to use the millor what spares the do.

 

I'd rather buy from Rob, the back up service and advice I've had from him in the past is second to none and for me that's worth paying the extra.

I only mill on an occasional basis for my own use but over the years have needed various spare parts. Last weekend at the start of a day's milling, a bolt in the frame sheared off after being adjusted just once too often and being 80 miles from the nearest hardware shop was pretty relived I had a bag of spares bought from Rob ......

I am fairly confident that Royston Resources are buying the mills from a Chinese factory that markets the mills. Not only have they copied the Granberg Alaskan Mill Mk III, but they have also copied the Granberg Small Log Mill. Like Royston, they also market (one of) the Mills as an "Alaskan" mill – clearly infringing on Granberg's trademark.

 

The current price (FOB south-east port) of the 36" Alaskan Mill is about US$ 50 (which at current exchange rates is £35. With sufficient volume, per-unit shipping costs would be quite low, and I believe the import duties are negligible.

 

The manufacturer is Yongkang Senmal Tools Factory, and they also manufacture (surprise) wheelchair ramps.
