Latest News from Pledge & Aldworth Engine Turners

We recently underwent a major reorganisation of our business with changes in ownership from a partnership to a wholly owned status with David Pledge as proprietor. Please note our NEW ADDRESS.

• We are now moving again soon, after the last year in which the banking crisis caused us to lose 95% of our orders for 2009 when the banks pulled the rug out from under one viable customer after another. We are currently here but will be moving in a few weeks again to more permanent premises. Details to be announced in due course.
• Web Site Upgrade - 28th Feb 2007: We have, since Christmas 2006, completely rewritten this entire web site and created a completely restructured menu and indexing system so that you can get to any page on the Pledge & Aldworth Engine Turners web site from any other page with no more than two mouse clicks. We are currently still building this major upgrade to our very extensive web site. The forum will be completed as soon as we have finished the new CGI scripts with suitable security and anti-spam code. New links will appear as work progresses. Everything of value from the old web site has already been upgraded and is online here now.
• We have a custom written search engine on the site. You can search the entire web site, including The Illustrated Engine Turning Reference, on any useful term. This is a very full featured search engine which we believe will make this educational resource of much greater use to all.
  Click here to Search the entire site or select "Contact" then "Search Site" from the drop down menus on any page.
• We are adding more to the Illustrated Engine Turning Reference. Many new images of CAD CAM engine turning are already uploaded and we will soon be adding pattern samples to the Pattern Reference.
• Our unique CAD CAM system has helped to make possible a new enamel process which works with low relief engine turning to create colour pictures in 3D. More information is here.
