Machine Tool Open House Event Media

Every year in Toronto 5 machine tool distributors open their doors for a 2 day event, inviting potential customers and geeks like me to come and drool at the latest and greatest machining technology. With over 50 machines operating under power there is a lot to look at. The event has opened my eyes to how a few of these technologies can be directly applied to my business, such as hiring a CMM shop to reverse engineer handles so that I can add new designs to my lineup of scales easier and faster. Also new indexible endmills that will make the machining of my knife blades go faster and with a much better surface finish.

If you're even slightly interested in machining and how things are made, you should get a kick out of this video.
