Hi Alan, maybe not, but I've been told by my boss not to spend too much time or get too fussy with jobs as the customers do not what to pay much, they just want it to work.

Regards Nick.

Nick,

That`s not a good place to work, what`s the point in all those years of training when you are told to get a move on and forget about doing a proper job. Perhaps your boss is giving you a gentle hint that you are too slow! I`m sure that you would not compromise your pride as a craftsman by following the bosses instructions to the letter.

You aren`t working for JS I hope, you know he doesn`t give a T.O.S!

There's a cure for the problem, someone has just got to start building lathes and,or milling machines of a modern design, of reasonable quality, and cheaper than the imported machines. His staff will of course be volunteers, and first class craftsmen,yea right, dream on. Ian S C

TOS, I think, were Czech. Hardly fair to compare the cost of a communist subsidised product with Myford. Looking for model engineers' lathes, the only new models available, AFIR, were Myford, EMCO and the hobbymat from East Germany. I don't know how the price of an EMCO 8 compared with a Myford 7 or EMCO 5 with an ML10.
