This runs parallel to my existing thread in the cnc sub about heat shrink holders and flatted shanks.
We've been very happily using form tools of various types from PJ Tooling Ltd. for years. They are excellent tools and I am very reluctant to look for other sources, but the lead times are a big problem. They used to keep these in stock (maybe they still do and I have just been unlucky), but recent quotes have been 5 weeks delivery, and the last one I ordered actually took 8 weeks to arrive.
I am not interested in the Allied inserted tools that are easily available, I have a full set of those already and they work poorly in aluminium. I need full form ground HSS tools.
Google doesn't turn up much in the UK for these tools. Can anyone recommend other sources?

) I called Floyd and was treated with courtesy and patience (Lots - I couldn't get my head round it 
) all for what amounted to a piddling little order, ……..which not only arrived when they said it would, …..but did the job beautifully.
