ABOUT US

We provide unique and challenging projects for the small workshop owner.

Established by Neil Shackleton Hemingway in 1976, our workshop accessory range has grown to include over 100 tooling projects. Treat us as your Production Engineering Department, providing tooling that will help you to: ! Work to more satisfying standards. ! Complete work more quickly. ! Undertake more complicated operations.

Hemingway Kits have earned a trusted position with the world's most demanding constructors and tool makers. Our customers include Model and Experimental Engineers, Horologists, Aeromodellers, Vehicle Restorers, Instrument Makers, - craftsmen of virtually every persuasion.

We are proud to represent the workshop designs of G H Thomas, E T Westbury, T D Walshaw (Tubal Cain), J A Radford, Arnold Thrope (Dore), J C Payne, G P Potts, A Timmins, R O Stephen, D R Machin, K C Hart (Martin Cleeves), I Bradley (Duplex), and many, many others.

WHAT’S NEW

A number of new products have been developed and released since our last catalogue was issued: ! Precision Filing Rest: An ingenious Westbury “slant” allowing great control. ! Sensitive Tailstock Attachment: Perfect for small holes and tapping up to M5. ! Quick-Set Keats : Taming Harold Keats' 1918 invention! ! Instrument Maker's Vice: A highly flexible platform for bench work ! S7 Poly V Belt Conversion: Both Primary and Final Drives can now be converted.

We continue to work down a prioritised list of 20 further launches and welcome your feedback and fresh ideas.

If you use the internet we hope you will visit our completely new website. You'll be able to see larger photos and longer descriptions of many of the projects together with a gallery of customers' photos. You'll also be able to securely place an order, using either your credit/debit card or Paypal account.
