Why this shop would buy the same machine again.

Twelve years of pushing for change finally paid off at A.N.S. Machine.

Production Manager Sam Hartwig knew their old 3-axis setup just wasn’t cutting it — so he fought for a 5-axis upgrade.

Two years with the Hwacheon D2 and the difference is night and day: fewer setups, higher accuracy, and the ability to take on tighter-tolerance, multi-sided aerospace work.

And here’s the kicker — they’re doing it all with just 13 employees! Proof you don’t have to be a massive shop to run 5-axis like a pro. Watch as Arthur Field of MTDCNC finds out why A.N.S. is already planning on another Hwacheon.
