I have some nylon wheels I need turning down but don't have the equipment or experience to do so. Does anyone fancy teaching me to use one while earning some beer money!

My father has a precision engineering business. Depending on the size, and how they may be held, he could probably do it for you. Reasonable rates too. He's in Kimbolton. Any good?

I have a Myford here in Milton Keynes, it will depeend on the diameter of the wheels of course as it will only accomodate up to 8cm radius.

How many wheels, what diameter, what tolerence and what finish do you want? I've got access to my brothers Colchester in Henlow if that's of any use?
