Watch this to get the scale of the place !
They offered me a job there But Egypt( and tenth of Ramadan is a dry city ! )

The knives I installed today are a bit special they have tungsten inserts to give them a longer running life , they will give me at least x50 times longer between regrind
they are £8 each though and I need 1200 on this machine , the other downside is they have to go to the mfg in Germany to be sharpened

Also one of the cmc machines has been playing up ( the reason I had to work Monday) looked underneath and the hooks were a bit late turns out the holes 1/2 unc were stripped in the cam lever so I bodged it and ordered a new one from the mfg , they said one had to be made so it will take 2 days which is fantastic service as when I order parts from Germany its usually twelve weeks if not in stock
This bit

Problem is they are obsolete rang the MFG "sorry cant help you " so I rang round every supplier and contact I know ! no joy so I decided to modify sleeve and rebore a similar but different ratio box (which would have meant modifying the PIV Gearbox settings
Then I got a phone call from a guy I contacted earlier He had 2 S/H ones in his factory if I wanted to drive overNever even asked the price till I had it in my Boot ( it was £400 ) my boss said "How Much !"
I told him "Fuck off " Saved the day
