“One of our two DNM 400 vertical machining centers is also set up for high-volume production, with a tombstone that is orientated horizontally and indexed by a fourth axis. With this setup we are able to machine up to fi ve faces on the pistol bolt. The cylindrical-shaped blank is sourced from a local shop that turns the bolt on a Doosan Lynx 220 Turning Center.”
In addition to machining me- chanical parts of the 9C1’s trigger on FMK’s second DNM 400, the machine is also used to engrave a variety of patriotic messages. The surfaces of the steel ejector slide can either be engraved with the words, “Proudly American”; “Freedom and Liberty”; or “Thank You U.S. Soldiers.” The slide plate also contains the words “E Pluribus Unum.” These are the markings of the plain-slide version of this pistol. FMK also offers the Bill of Rights version of the 9C1 with the fi rst 10 amendments to the Constitu- tion engraved on the slide. California was the top manufac- turing state in the USA in 2013, with $239 billion in manufacturing output, and manufacturing employment at 1,250,900. In the state’s history, there have actually been as many as a dozen manufacturers of pistols at one time. According to Pontillo, today there remains just two pistol manufacturers in California, including FMK Firearms. “The thing that’s made the greatest
difference for us is the technology we have today,” says Pontillo. “Whether we’re making plastic medical compo- nents at TRA Medical or handguns at FMK Firearms, you’re only as good as the tools you work with. As a tool- maker, I know this to be true. I also know you cannot beat the capabilities of Doosan CNC machine tools.” For more information from Doosan Infracore Machine Tools, go to
