I miss not having everyday access to a lathe, the old job with its machine shop was so useful for making bits.
Now I have to pop up to Dallas's and use his.

Hope you get it sorted Miles,
There is a guy that goes to the Kempton Park and other autojumbles that sells Myfords and Boxfords along with parts for them, next time I see him I'll see if he has a business card

Miles

I have just bought Nourish Race Engines and as a part of the purchase I have acquired a hell of a lot of lathe tooling, mill cutters, taper shank drills, etc. If you get in touch I am sure I can sort you out the basics that will get you turning, boring, etc.

info@nourishengineering.co.uk

If anyone in the DD paddock needs stuff machined, modified, etc, then get in touch special rates to Club members. We have enough machines to make a complete engine from castings and bits of metal, including the ability of making billet cranks!
