Dave from DWS Engineering has been making components on his Fixed Head lathes for years, manufacturing Pre-War nuts and bolts for historic vehicles.

But he decided to dip his toe in the water and invest in a Citizen Cincom Sliding Head Lathe.

As it was his first foray in to Sliding head machining he wanted to make sure he was comfortable with the technology so he bought a second hand machine. The installation, service and support have been fantastic; he loves the machine.

Things that he highlighted were;
- The depth of cut
- The speed of machining
- No requirement for second ops
- Improved tool life

So if you’re not sure about this type of machine, just look at the smile on Dave’s face; that says it all!
