Usually they don’t have their own product lines; they maybe don’t even have a preferred industry sector or a particular technology that sets them apart from other job shops. What they do have, however, is their reputation. Italy has its fair share of such companies, and G-Tech CNC, based near…

Vertical Machining, also known as milling, relies on rotary cutters to remove metal from a workpiece. Vertical machining occurs on a vertical machining center (VMC), which employs a spindle with a vertical orientation. With a vertically oriented spindle, tools stick straight down from the tool holder, and often cut across the top of a workpiece.
The Mazak M-5N Turning Center delivers heavy duty machining capability and features a flat-bed construction for easy work access and chip flow. The dual turret configuration streamlines the processing of large, long parts. The M-5N also provides spindle bore sizes up to 7.1″ in diameter and with front and rear chucks, large diameter pipe-type work is easily handled. Machine Characteristics Flat-bed design Optional 7.1″-diameter spindle bore Rigid high-torque, geared headstock for heavy-duty cutting Octagonal disc (front) and hexagonal (rear) boring turret Machine Specifications
