Hi Peter, I did think about doing that, but I had to rule it out due to a variety of reasons. It is just a compromise I am having to make. Ketan

This is for the U.K. based readers: Visitors to the various Model Engineering Shows are used to seeing us at the Harrogate Show in May and The Midlands Show in October. This year we have decided to attend the show at Harrogate with a selection of machines only. We will not be selling any...

Just a little update: Yesterday, a customer brought up the hardness issue of the blocks to my attention. I referred this to the engineers at the production factory. The blocks have been heat treated to HRC25-HRC28, which is at the low end of the hardening process. The engineers have taken this...
