    Question Symtec cutting tools

    Hi all, just a quick question. I have a Symtec lathe that is now about 20 years old and is in need of a cutting tool. Having read the previous posts about the closure of Symtec some years ago, does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks, Tzza.

    Cheers Harry72 I've got a mate who's a postie, I'll ask him if he can get his hands on an axle for me.

    Hello TZZA

    I know your enquiry is a liitle out of date, but Symtec cutters are available from SA made of HSS & heat treated for a better cutting edge.

    Hope you're turning plenty
