You should be able to buy everything you need in the UK, a friend of mine used to live there in the early 2000's, he bought all of his supplies, equipment etc., locally and on the Internet. Specialty items such as jigs he had made, but drill bits, chucks, and the rest of the tools were catalog items.
You might post photos, sometimes it the method, not the equipment that is causing the problems. If I have a problem, 99% of the time it is my problem, not the equipment.
