Hello I’m John I started engineering because I could not get bits for my motorbike. A friend gave me a Pratt & Whitney lathe which had a cross slide that slid along the bed and was tightened with a large wing nut under the bed this was good for spacers as I hated multiple washers etc. Since then I have accumulated a very nice Harrison 600 VS330TR and a Bridgeport Series 1 vertical milling machine. Over the years I have accumulated a reasonable selection of tooling and feel I can take on all most types of job. My aim now is to convert my milling machine to CNC, so if there is anybody out there that has succeeded in doing this I would like to hear from them. I enjoy my hobby and would like to talk with anybody like-minded. Happy turning.
