We specialise in service support and refurbishing the Webster and Bennett Vertical Turning Centers that we designed and built between 1993 and 2010 – the Millennium, Evolution, Revelation and Aeroturn VTCs

The VTT-WB ManuPlus. The wonderful manual machines from the 1960/70’s can be modernised to produce to 2020 standards in a wide variety of specifications, less than 50% of the cost of an inferior built new machine

Our Webster & Bennett new build history equips us to offer these services with the qualities that made Britain a world leading machine tool designer and builder – before our industry was destroyed by governments

 

We can no longer build these machines new in the UK. That is a very sad story because the whole home grown UK machine tool industry was substantially destroyed in the 1980/90’s by government incompetence and ministerial lies.

There is a short introduction on this page, below the machine information.

Check out age-fit.com/govt/idiocy for the full story and see the danger that government ignorance has put us in.

 

 

DESIGNS FOR SALE                                                                                                                                                                       We are looking for partners to manufacture these machines. The Millennium and Revelation require a large machine tool designer and builder. The Aeroturn was designed to be built easily by a small company. The Evolution and ManuPlus are perfect for a small company located in one of the countries where there are many existing Webster & Bennett installations
