FORGING

Forging dies that once required eight setups, 40 machine hours and a six-day lead time today are routinely done in a single setup and take three hours and 57 minutes to complete. That’s just one example of the revolution in forging led by Makino horizontal machining centers and our patented technology, Flush Fine finishing. See all the ways we can help you forge a new future for your shop here.
