New Machine, More Accuracy
When the shop was ready to add a new horizontal boring mill, it tapped machine builder Fives Giddings & Lewis to help with the project. “Lincoln Park wanted a machine that could mill all the way through to the center line,” says Micah Mullins, regional sales manager for Fives Giddings & Lewis.
Because Lincoln Park Boring is known for its high-accuracy standards, the new machine was equipped with a high-accuracy package. During the manufacture of the new machine in their Fond du lac, Wisconsin plant, Fives Giddings & Lewis had very strict procedures in place to deliver on the product.
