    I went there once and got quite a few bits.. can't remember what but I'm sure it was useful!

    Damn John that's neat work. We are making rollers from 17-4 PH stainless for a local maltings - 380 dia x 180mm wide. You always have that moment where you wonder if it could all go seriously wrong and mess up £600 of material. Do you ever work with any exotic materials like monel or inconel?
