I've used these, many years ago, for machining:

I never had any issues with them.

I've not needed that kind of work for years.

Not Kent, but just over the river and close to the Dartford crossing is the place I have had many cylinder heads skimmed, and they always do a great, quick job. A family firm that has been going for 40 years to my knowledge, their present skimming machine is ex-Cosworth. Ken at Regal Engines, Purfleet. 01708 867190

I've heard of them- good things- but never used them.

A lot of people around here use them and they do a good job, expect to pay accordingly, though.

I wonder how they do it nowadays? Surface grinder, milling machine fly- cutter or something new?

Went to Regal's in the end. Good finish on the head - diamond cutter appare ntly. £40 for the head skim.

Their work is always good, and they are a pleasant family.
