“Once we had the first Mazak up and running, we knew that any future turning machines we purchased were going to be Mazaks, which is why we got the two QTN machines,” said Barber. “The machines have not only significantly im- proved part accuracy, they’ve allowed us to continuously reduce our turnaround

times. With their strength and power, we can take faster, more aggressive cuts to reduce cycle times, get parts off machines faster and open up additional machining capacity to take on even more work. And thanks to the Mazaks, we are able to manufacture and thread rotary shoulder connections, tubing, casings and drill stem elements to strin- gent customer supplied specifications.” Many parts are oilfield components, and some are for coal burning plants. Cycle times can range from four minutes
