Yes, but he's in Ph.

This tech should be able to fabricate valves using heat and wear-resistant materials. He should be able to reproduce valves, or any other hand tools, given dimensions or sample.

He must have high precision machine(s), maybe CNC grin

I believe this can be done locally, instead of China.

Thanks.

You re just joking!!! The best he can do for you is to rebore cylinders and grind your valves, for any other precision stuff migrate to china. angry

You are wrong sir. While in school, we could fabricate simple valves with our lab lathe machines. Our lecturer then could program the machine and just sit and watch, with coolant running. Couldn't grab how he was doing it, as I only did those practicals for a semester.

If I can't find this in Lagos, I can as well go down to Enugu (SEDI or PRODA). They will do it! I am sure you may not have heard these names before. If you search online, you will see companies looking for machinists for employment, who can fabricate precision designs. You think they work in China?

The guy is good but the 'very' is what I don't know. I will ask him if he has the equipment you mentioned.

U need a CnC plus a Gcoder

Yes, those make it easier and faster, but before the advent of CNCs, machine parts have been fabricated using just lathes.

Do you know who has those in Lagos?

I dont know the school you are referring to, but I know that we have machinists all over the country that rebore cylinders , grind valves and crankshaft.

But if you are referring to machinist who can fabricate these components in Nigeria, I strongly disagree with you.

We dont have steel for that neither do we manufacture core metals like titanium, aluminum or other special alloys to do this.

If we could do these we would not be importing machinery for our industries.
