This capacity enables us to produce small quantity and specialist items that require close attention. Our conventional turning capacity consists of four centre-lathes with a Tarnow TUJ-50M lathe with the capability to hold 3050mm between centres. Conventional milling capacity is very versatile with vertical, horizontal and universal machines including a Butler Elgamill and Huron KU4 having a universal ram head allowing an infinite set-up range. For boring on larger items, up to 1525mm diameter and 915mm tall, we have a Webster Bennett vertical borer.
