Cut Faster AND
Safer
Ever break a tool? Stall a spindle? Lose part tolerance from tool
deflection? Fast is good, Fast & Safe is best. Set best feeds for each
tool cut, while ensuring safe machining conditions – automatic and
affordable.
Would you drive your car at just one speed? Why run your tool at just
one feed?

Mori Seiki reports it is studying the possibility of manufacturing
machine tools in North America, plans which could be in progress as soon
as 2011. The idea is based on its evaluation of the possibility of a
continuing decrease in the rate of currency exchange between Japan and
the U.S. “If the value of the U.S. dollar declines, it will become
fiscally advantageous to manufacture machine tools in North America,
eliminating the cost of importing from Japan,” explained Dr. Masahiko
Mori, the president of the machine tool builder.

Benchmarks for Machine Shops
|
2009 Benchmarks for Machine Shops is NOW AVAILABLE
American Machinist's Benchmarks for Machine Shops is the only set
of operating metrics specifically for machine shops.
Included within the Benchmarks for Machine Shops is a 12-point job shop
management dashboard.
A dashboard is a set of key indicators that can tell you, at a glance,
how your business is running. It can also be used to reflect a company's
unique operations rather than a generic set of metrics that could apply
to any industry.
You can find the 12-point dashboard in:
