Abrasive Test Centre

You are invited to visit our Abrasive Test Centre, by far the largest in the UK and as far as we know the largest in Europe.

Here you will find the very latest grinding, deburring and polishing equipment and materials. More than 25 portable abrasive power tools, over 50 manual abrasive belt grinding machines, tube notchers, tri-planetary machines for polishing bent tube, abrasive belt centreless machines, abrasive belt flatbed throughfeed machines, a wide belt deburring and finishing machine, tool post grinders and many dedicated machines.

To make the machines perform efficiently and economically we stock every conceivable abrasive grinding, deburring and polishing tool including little known specialities, but all designed to solve problems.

We can offer you more solutions in one place than you could find travelling the country and because we are an independent Company we will recommend what is best for you and not just what is in our manufacturing programme. Bring your own parts and discuss your requirements with our skilled and experienced engineers who will also set up practical demonstrations.See for yourself how our machines can be used to solve problems or to improve efficiency. Alternatively send us parts and we will finish them in accordance with your instructions and tell you how we did it.
