Expanding Our Capabilities


In December 2008 QMI invited a new arrival to our already diverse list of equipment. We purchased our first vertical lathe; a PUMA VT900. This increased our turning capabilities to 40" in diameter. In comparison to a horizontal lathe, a vertical lathe offers many advantages. It requires relatively less room, easy and quick loading and unloading, minimum clamping and excellent accuracy. This new machine is ideal for the large parts in high volumes that come through our shop.
