Marx was impressed by the machine and thought it was as good as, if not better, than some of the other cost-efficient ma- chines he was comparing against. The DV 1000 has X-Y-Z trav- els of 40.2 × 22 × 23.6" (1020 × 560 × 600 mm), a 15,000-rpm spindle and table capacity of 1650 lb (750 kg) and maximum tool size of 15.4 lb (7 kg). Infinity EDM was so pleased with its purchase of the DV-1000 that it recently purchased two more machines: the DV-1200 and the DV-1000B. MC Machinery’s SV-1000 vertical machin- ing center features heavy-duty box way construction in X-Y-Z axes, hand-scraped Turcite B way guides and Meehanite cast iron construction for rigidity and stability for machining larger parts with large tools. “I realize we were taking a chance on MC Machinery because the company is more known for its wire EDM and la- ser machinery and newer to machining centers,” Marx said. “But I’ve never had an issue with MC Machinery’s machines or service department. I really couldn’t be happier with our decision.” With machines working so well, includ- ing unparalleled accuracy without any need for service support, Marx still trusts MC Machinery’s service promise. “I just like knowing that when we do

come out, MC Machinery will have one to us the next day.” Infinity EDM, according to MC Machinery’s Steve Brown, is not just an EDM company, regardless of its name. Over the past few years, Infinity EDM has grown alongside MC Machinery and added machining centers to its list of servic- es. They can now take on complex jobs, and take them from start to finish under one roof. “Overall adding the machining centers has been a huge complement to our wire work. We are actually getting more wire work now because we can of- fer machining capabilities,” concludes Marx. For more information from MC Machinery Systems Inc., go to
