Hi buddies

Wonder is there any good machine casting kits in the UK? Kits that offers similar standard to Hemingway Kits but for smaller range that could be used on lathes of Unimats or Sherline?

Casting kits of machine parts or add on machine toolings.

Thanks inadvance for any leads.

Hi David

Many thanks! As for College Engineering I did have some cast from them years ago.

I have emailed to Bristol Foundary whether they accept small/few pieces cast job for my small machine construction.

No probs – The guy who runs it is really down to earth & very helpful. He does his email at home so you may not hear from him until this evening UK time. If you haven’t already done so send him full details of what you want – size of casting & specs. Preferably a drawing if you have one. He will do anything from small to large and his turn round time is good. If you have already made a former/mold then do send him a photo of that – it will help him to see how much work is involved. His prices are reasonable.

What usually works for me is select the link from the navigation bar of the browser using ctrl C. Watch out to delete any trailing “/” . They seems to have adverse effect on this forum’s code.

I usually use google chrome as a browser but it also works on MS$!
