Hi, I am looking for someone near to Skegness in Lincolnshire who may be able to help me. I have made an aluminium casting that has warped. I think that it would be possible to straighten it using a press. Is there anybody in my locality who would be prepared to help? I could still use it but it would entail removing quite a lot of metal in order to achieve a flat surface, if it could be straightened it would save a huge amount of work. It measures 24" x 5" x 1.5" If you think that you could help please send me a PM. Thanks, Norman |

Happy to do it Norman but I only fulfill one of your criteria :) Can you not place it on a bit of RSJ or similar, spaced off by an inch or so by packing at the ends, and apply a G clamp to the middle ? |
| NormanV:
Unfortunately I don't have a piece of RSJ. But it does give me a reason to visit my local scrap yard to see if they have a piece. It will always come in handy as an anvil. Norman |
| awemawson:
Stout piece of timber would probably do it as well |
