Qualtek Engineering doesn’t just restore classic engines — they’re pushing the limits of restoration to engineer better-than-factory results.

When it came to choosing the right workholding system, they needed a solution that could minimise setup time and provide a very high degree of accuracy. Guess what turned out to be their secret weapon?

“There’s nothing else out there that delivers this kind of modular setup that MicroLoc provide.”

Zero clocking-in
Micron-level accuracy
Ultimate flexibility on the table
Speed, power, and precision — all in one modular system.

Watch the full story from Scotland with Tom Skubala of MTDCNC and Ewan Montgomery of Qualtek Engineering and see how this machine shop is rewriting the rules of classic restoration with MicroLoc – a custom solution designed for machinists.
