CNC Swiss Delivers in Many Ways
Designed to efficiently process long, slender parts for the watch industry, the Swiss-type screw machine has evolved well beyond its original application niche.
CAM Software Considerations for Bar-Fed Mills
Time will tell, but increasingly, there is evidence that points to the fact that bar-fed mills could well represent the future of complex, small parts manufacturing.

Center-Drive Could be Your Shop’s Next Center of Attention
The use of a center-drive lathe is a specialized process that offers the ability for two, three or four cutting tools to simultaneously machine a workpiece and keeps cycle times to a minimum.
Cut Cycle Times in Half
Jake Grainger says he always had a mechanical bent, and 38 years ago when he first walked into a screw machine shop he was hooked.
Combining Old and New Technologies Pays Off
By pursuing a pragmatic growth policy that coupled advanced CNC Swiss technology with the speed and cost effectiveness of existing cam machines, Precision Plus (Elkhorn, Wis.) has thrived.
Making Locks Since Lincoln
For 150 years, padlock manufacturer Wilson Bohanan has done one thing and done it well. Spanning much of the Industrial Revolution, this company has survived and prospered by adapting to change both in product and process as evidenced by the company’s recent installation of a CNC multi-spindle.
Are Bar Fed Machining Centers the Next Big Thing?
Advanced mill-turn machines with bar fed material handling can overcome several inherent weaknesses of production machining on vertical machining centers.
CNC Lathes, Machining Centers and More
The company’s Mori Seiki NT1000SZM, as well as the DMG CTX gamma 2000 TC are available.
Milling and Turning with Automatic Tool Changing
The Integrex j-Series performs four-axis simultaneous machining with five-axis tool tip positioning.
Turning/Boring/Milling Centers
The M120 mill-turn/6,500-mm machine is equipped with machining lengths ranging from 78" to 315" and a swing ranging to 48". Along with power ranges (ranging to 168 hp) and torque values (ranging to 8,680 foot-pounds) of the main spindle, feed rates on all axes make for dynamics and productivity.
