Our Mission
Our owner, Frank Kleinworth, has been in the business for decades and is known from coast to coast as “the Colchester Lathe Man.” You don’t get a title like this without knowing these machines back to front, inside and out! Whether it’s time for lathe repair or you’re making an investment in new equipment, trust your machine needs to the man who knows his lathes.
From cradle-to-grave, Frank and FDK3 Company, Inc. are your preferred partner for lathe services. From brand-name lathes for sale, to new and used OEM parts, to the service needed to keep your equipment turning, we do it all. We even provide you with the resources necessary to keep your lathe in top working condition, such as free part manuals. We know these machines are the lifeblood of your business and essential to your craft. That’s why we treat them with a careful hand and a deft understanding of their function.
