G and M Tools is a small friendly company specializing in the sale of machine tools, hand tools and all types of workshop equipment.
Since the formation of the company in 1987 the partners, Tim Muddle and Anthony “Digger” Gardner, have endeavoured to supply high quality equipment at a fair price, extending from hand tools up to machine tools for engineering and woodworking.
Starting with 80 square metres, we later expanded to take over the whole site. With an overhead gantry crane we are able to move machines in and out of our building with ease and safety.
We try to maintain a relaxed atmosphere at our showrooms, offering customers the chance to wander amongst the stock without being pestered by salesmen. We are always on hand to answer questions and help with queries.
Linishers, polishers, tapping machines, watchmaking, jewellery and model making equipment, lathes, shapers, grinders, tool and cutter grinders, surface grinders etc.
Some years ago we acquired a stock of Sheffield made plane irons dating from before World War 2, Most are laminated steel, some are solid tool steel. Makers include J. Herring (more famous for their fine carving tools) Isaac Greaves, W.K & C. Peace and Kenyon. They fit wooden planes and traditional wood filled metal planes, not Stanley type planes. The irons are tapered, ie. thicker at the cutting edge. They are all unused and some may have some slight surface rust marks but nevertheless will take a very good edge. Eminently suitable for those making their own bench planes. We also have a large stock of used plane irons and spare parts for both wooden and metal ‘Stanley’ type planes.
