We have been dealing with Mint Alloys for around two years now, after first getting in touch with them when we decided to purchase a lathe for our alloy wheel refurbishment business. We looked at various different suppliers with price ranges right across the board and after demo’s on all the different makes felt confident that the Mint Alloys machine was the right one for our business.

One of the real advantages of using Mint Alloys as a company is that they also refurbish alloy wheels as well as supplying lathe’s. This means we can discuss any technical issues regarding refinishing diamond cut alloy wheels on the same level, and when we are presented with weird and wonderful wheels to cut we can always contact Mint if we are unsure on anything, and always find that they are familiar with the types and styles of wheels we are cutting.

The lathe is straight forward to use, really intuitive and the self plotting program is brilliant. In fact the lathe is so simple to use that our technician who cuts the majority of our wheels, prior to working for us had not even refurbished a wheel, let alone used a diamond cutting lathe, within two days of training with Andy at Mint he was cutting wheels un aided and with confidence.

Having the ability to diamond cut our own wheels has really helped us grow our business, there are plenty of companies who can powder coat wheels locally,  not many of them cut wheels though, having a lathe has really opened some doors for us which otherwise would probably have remained firmly closed!

Starting a business is hard and normally there is a limited amount of support, but in terms of purchasing my equipment, Andy and his team at Mint Alloys have been a God send. I travelled all corners of the UK and had lots of demos but the Mint Alloys machine was street’s ahead, The delivery and set up was easy, with on site training and on going support 6 months on.

Thanks very much

“We chose Mint Alloys to supply our equipment because they had designed and built a bespoke lathe specifically for alloy wheels. From the date of order to the day of delivery, Andy kept us updated throughout. Once the Lathe arrived, siting the unit and installation was timed perfectly. Because of the unit size compared to others, we were able to site the Lathe in a confined space which also enabled other machinery to be installed in the same area. The simplicity of operation and ease of use allowed our staff to be fully trained by the end of day one. Andy became a spectator on day two! In the first year of operation we are cutting approx. 300 wheels per month. The equipment has paid for itself plus has given us a tidy profit – we are now looking forward to year two and more profit.”

“My company, Oxmanor Alloys, purchased a Diamond cut alloy wheel lathe from Mint Alloys back in 2015 and it was the best move we’ve ever made.

After lots of homework we decided to go forward with the purchase from Mint Alloys. Even though there are cheaper machines out there, an engineer friend of mine advised me to go with quality.

I’m cutting at least 12-16 wheels a day on the machine and it’s been problem free.

Andy from Mint Alloys has! and is! always on hand if I get a wheel that is maybe is a bit different from the norm and I need advice.

The on going customer service from Andy at Mint Alloys has been amazing.

I would recommend the machine and Mint Alloys as a company to anyone.

My business is growing every day thanks to the Diamond cutting machine from Mint Alloys.
