 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Frank came through in a big way for us with parts we needed to get our lathe back to work.  After being kept in the dark by Clausing and their lead times changing after we were quoted and ordered parts, we were desperate to find the needed parts.  Highly recommend Frank and FDK 3 Co.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing service! If you have any problems with Colchester lathes, call them or check their website. We have a Colchester 17 that needed a lot of love and attention, and thanks to Frank, we were able to get it up and running in no time. You get the parts you need, no guessing or trying to make it work, it just fits the first time around. His customer service is simply the best. Thank you!
