Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad the delivery arrived next day as promised, but we’re sorry to hear the courier dropped it at the wrong unit.
That’s definitely not the standard we expect from them. We’ll pass this on to the courier service to help prevent it happening again. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

3 Flute Slot Drill.

Got exactly what I ordered. Delivery was 6 days, not the 3 quoted but that was probably down to the Post Office, not Cutwel. Overall, well pleased.

All Items I required were in stock

All Items I required were in stock - used Standard DPD and arrived at 1pm. I use my Cutwel account 'My Lists' to detail all the non urgent parts to be added to my next order so not to forget anything.

Great sales support if you aren't sure what you need.

Not being very knowledgeable about machining I have leaned on the sales support team at Cutwel to guide me through. The website is very good but when I had questions Nathan was able to help me. They were recommended by the company that supplied my milling machine for exactly this reason. I'll be using them from now on.

Customer service could be better

Purchased a digital caliper. Delivered on time but on inspection the caliper didn’t work as it was delivered with a flat battery. They acknowledged the item should not have been delivered with the flat battery, but didn’t offer to pay for the new battery

Reply from Cutwel

Hi David,
I’m really sorry about this – it’s not what you should’ve received, and I completely understand why you’re frustrated. You expect a caliper to work straight out of the box, and we’ve let you down there. That’s on us.

To make it right, I’ll pop two fresh batteries in the post today, free of charge, so you’re sorted without any extra cost or hassle. We’ll also be tightening up our checks so this doesn’t happen again.

Thanks for letting us know – it means a lot and helps us do better. If there’s anything else you need, just give me a shout.

I purchased a gerardi quick change vice, pricey but luckily I had a 20% off code so made the price reasonable, ive purchased 8 of these for my old company I worked for, setting up on my own and didn't think twice about purchasing another one

Hi Andrew
