Very prompt delivery every time Ive placed an order. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great product! Just as described by the seller.
Great Service as always, love these.
The whole experience with the team at Aus Maker Supplies has been amazing! They suggested the belts that will best fit my required jobs, with very fast responses. And when I accidentally put the wrong address in they redirected it free of charge for me. Thank you so much !
One of two Google reviews I've ever posted: Great stock and pricing combined with excellent customer service. Highly recommend. On ya Tim!
Nice belts to have in the toolbox. They let you get into radiuses that are otherwise tricky.
These belts are just the thing for budding knife makers and they are also great for removing skin from the fingertips when you get things completely wrong. I'm mending nicely and the belt is none the worse for the encounter. I give them a solid A plus!
Great service as always, belts really move metal.
My order was delivered very quickly and well packaged. The personal touch that Tim provides is a welcome bonus. Thanks Tim!
