"Andrew,
In response to your e-mail to Shopsmith concerning placing an order.
Shipments outside the United States may be subject to custom charges
which is the responsibility of the purchaser. Prices are as follows:
521005 4000 grit water stone $ 6.99 each
521006 8000 girt water stone $10.99 each
If you order one each the shipping charge to Australia is $65.30. If
you order more than one each, the shipping charges will be higher. If
you wish to order, please reply with a complete mailing address and
charge card number with expiration date.

A total of $83.28USD which equates to $99.60AUD...Suddenly these stones don't seem so cheap...Considering I can purchase a Norton 4000/8000 combo locally for $115.00AUD shipped.
Sorry to hear about this chopper ---is there any other way to get around it?
