Hello Gentlemen, ( apologies to any Lady readers ), As a total newby to machining I have no doubt I will be on asking questions after I have made mistakes. My main obsession is motorcycles, specifically older race bikes, so not all parts are readily available hence the need to make "stuff". Colin Wilkinson

Should have said, I have a small lathe for making spacers etc, now I want a small milling machine to keep it company and make more expensive swarf. Thanks in anticipation, Colin Wilkinson

Welcome to the forum if you need any help just ask. Where are you based. I worked for Dresda Motorcycles quite a few years ago and worked on quite a few racing bikes.

David, I am based in Cheshire close to M6/M56 junction. Ah, Dave Degens- now there's a name from the past. Raced against him at Oulton Park many, many years ago. Colin
