    I used to deal with Selway Tool company. Roy Selway, the founder of this enterprise sold me my first new machine tools. He was recommended to me by a machine shop owner. Bill Selway who is the president was close to me. We would go to the Oakland Raiders games and I was his guest.

    But here is the story of their company, since his brothers also are part of it.

    What you need to get is that this country should have many years back taken command of the machine tool industry. Bill sold me all but one of my tools. One I purchased from an American engineer who made a fabulous band saw cut off tool. That saw was lightning fast. And it automatically fed bars of metal through and each cut was within .05 of an inch I believe. May well have cut more accurate than that.
