I'm picking up a nice shiny new lathe on Thursday morning, it can machine up to 200mm diameter and 350mm long. If anyone needs any one off parts making for a project, I shall be willing to make them for a very small fee (cost of material, plus delivery, plus just a couple of quid to help pay for this lathe).

I also will be getting a mill soon and have grinders, welders and drills so the skies the limit.

where you located?

I'm down south in High Wycombe.

I'm a design engineer at work so I can do 3D models of parts before I do anything (my boss can pay for that :) )

Hi wayno m8, you could be my saviour. :D

I need 2 main stand bolts,(with lock nuts) as I can't get the correct size dia 14mm, I’ve got 2 sets of yam replacement parts, they are 12mm dia, so no good.

All so, could do with side stand bolt,nut,washer, and 2 f/foot rest pivot pins,washer l/nuts.

could you machine 5 items in stainless steel.

So, what do you thank, can you do it, and the cost.

If I had a million axis CNC mill I would make a set fo them, just to leave them on the side and look at everyday :)

I do keep thinking about getting a large bore pipe bender, but for the amount of use I'd get ot of it, it's just not worth the money.
