Hi Duncan, I agree with you but ironically one of the images I posted is from a large, expensive American lathe distributor, who, in my mind, should definitely have more responsibility. To make it worse, their products are being promoted by a well known British distributor from whom I have yet to have a response from them about the email I sent some months ago on this very topic.

I'm sorry to hear you had no response; sometimes I think the only way is to publicise the issue through the media, but that has its own drawbacks and isn't for everyone.
