50,000 parts a month, powered by Citizen lathes

For C&M Precision in Maldon, the green lights never stop. With thirteen Citizen sliding head machines on the floor and a partnership that began in the early 2000s, the team runs some seriously high-volume batches.

John Cable and Leon Rawlinson of C&M Precision Ltd explain how LFV technology, oversized kits, high-pressure coolant, and disciplined tool-life monitoring allow them to cut cycle times, run unmanned, and maintain tight tolerances without scrap. It’s not just about owning great machines; it’s about extracting maximum performance from every single one.
