agent“We have continued to invest and improve and have seen the benefits of investing in state of the art CNC machinery, including two impressive Nakamura twin spindle, twin turret machines. 2018 saw a fantastic addition to our 5 axis capability, a brand new Mikron Mill E 500 U machine. Most recently in January 2022, we took delivery of a Brother Speedio multi-tasking machining centre, complete with robot loading system. 2024 We take delivery of our brand new Citizen Miyano ABX80. This machine increases our capacity and also our capability as we can now offer mill/turn components up to 80mm bar size. Already this is proving a popular machine with our customers! 2025 Investment continues with our recent delivery of a new Star SR-32JIII. Small, precision components up to 32mm bar size makes our sliding head lathe section a very busy and productive area of our workshop!”
