West End Precision Expands with New Star Lathe
West End Precision, a leading manufacturer of precision-engineered CNC mill-turn components, has enhanced its production capacity…
“This is literally the Rolls-Royce that does everything.” That’s how MJ Engineering describes their new Star GB sliding head machine — and it’s easy to see why.
Parts that once took four minutes now run in just over one, holding tight tolerances across thousands of components without intervention. What started as an investment for high-volume work has evolved into small-run, complex machining made possible by the B-axis capability and turnkey setup.
How does MJ Engineering like working with Star GB? Take it from Managing Director David Simpkin — it’s “like a breath of fresh air.”
