My friend had some chilled castings recently from Reeves.

They refused to replace them as machining had been attempted!

How else to you discover this?

When I used the term “over size” I meant there was more than 0.020” on each surface to be machined. As said, this is to remove the hard skin. This is good.

Conversely, “under size” meant casting was already below drawing dimensions. Then you would have to use something like an epoxy resin to build it up to size. If the casting is gun metal a little piece of bronze, silver soldered in the right place, can rescue the casting. This is not so good.

Castings are fun!/?

I think all of Chiltern's offerings are ready machined

Yes you're right. I was sure I'd saw prices on their website for machined and unmachined kits but no.
