As we begin the year 2013, at J&D Machine, we are cautiously optimistic. With 2012 ending well in the CNC Machining world, in the hopes that 2013 will continue this way, we are making plans to add a new piece of equipment in the 2nd quarter. After our longest stretch of time without purchasing new equipment, we look forward to the process and seeing how much has changed in the last four years.
We have been working on some great new projects recently. CNC Machining projects that are small (but important) parts of exciting advances in robotics, defense, and aerospace. We are seeing a lot of new product quotes that we haven’t seen before, and that’s very encouraging.
Although nothing is etched in stone, this is a good sign that things are getting better in the CNC Machining industry, and we are excited to be a part of it.
I recently read 
These are 5 machine makes that I think make up a good representation of what is available for CNC Swiss machining. They are Citizen, Hanwha, Star, Tornos and Tsugami. These are not the only makes out there, but they are all top machines and are supported well. If you are a first time buyer and do not have a lot of swiss machining or CNC experience, you will definitely want to look at the support group you will be dealing with.
