Good morning all.

I'm South west London based. I run a motorcycle workshop and do a fair bit of machining. I have a Colchester Triumph 2000 lathe, and a hefty Semco milling machine.

I've lurked on here for some years, as this is a great forum, especially for hints and tips. So I thought I'd join in oreder to add my tuppence worth on occasion.

Cheers.

Stewart.

Indeed Dresda used to be quite local to me. Initially it was started by a chap called Dave Degens. I believe he's still involved with it, although they're now in Horsham.

A lot of the machining I do is making parts for all those folks who wish to fit different wheels, and/or forks to their bikes. So it's the usual spacers etc.

I also do disabled adaptations, such as left hand front brake, left hand thumb rear brake etc, It's interesting work, but very time consuming. Hence getting folks to pay for it can be tiresome. As you all know manual machining isn't quick, and working out the dimensions one requires also takes time.

I work with a lot of high carbon steels, and stainless steels. I've found this site to be very useful when it comes to tips on machining brass and other soft metals.

Cheers.

Stewart.
