Going by the products they produce, they will be good. Although never had any machining done by them myself personally

Never had machine work from them, but they got a good rep. I went to there shop to buy pistons and they had some really nice looking engines and parts kicking around.

My brother has had some block work and other parts machined by Med. Their work was absolutely spot on! I would have no hesitation in using them.

The only trouble he has had was with a couple of Piper Cams wearing extremely rapidly. He has since swapped back to Kent and has had no trouble at all with them. But that may have been down to a bad batch though, it does happen, unfortunately.
