Chinese machinery and tools

[mhh]

Right at the moment I'm visiting china (Qintao (or Qiandao or how it is spelled?) in the Guangdong region) And there is a LOT of small machine shops in the area, I haven't been to one visit one of the yet but I will in a few days. However I have been to a shop that sells machine tools!(and electric motor and so on) But what I was quite impressed with was actually the quality of the items! Specially with some of the small vices. compared to the quality of Chinese items we see here in Europe. This was acutally quite good. Another thing in the same shop was a hand slotter, simple machine, looked like a slotting attachment for a mill but hand powered I have never seen anything like that before and was wondering of any of you have?

I'll try to take some pictures of the machine shops.

That's fantastic, pictures would be great and if you find out if they sell online please post that too.

I hope you have a nice trip and thanks for sharing with us.

I dont know about hong kong or Shenzhen, but 2hours away from Shenzhen lies Qiaotou (Donguan, Guandong) When you in Qiaotou walk down the Mainstreet you meet a large bowlingpin. down that street there is a lot of hardware shops. The first one on the left side is really nice and the owner is really pleasant, can't speak a word of english!
