Can any of our brothers in the SW recommend a company in the Poole, Bournemouth, Yeovil area who might overhaul my trusty old Elliott Omnimill? The wear is so great that the tapered gibs almost rattle in their housings and the slideways obviously need grinding and, probably, new gibs would need to be made. Considering the price of a new VMC from WARCO for £1450, it begs the question as to whether it's even an economic proposition to consider major repair. I can find a couple of appropriate-sounding companies in the area from my Yellow Pages or the Internet but I'm hoping that I can get a bit of a human steer before I take the plunge and incur inevitable fees for people to come out and see the machine.
Anybody had any experience of this sort of thing? --
