Testimonial: Marcus Burciaga (Area 419)
“CoolSpeed has allowed us to make small Torx head parts which would normally be ran on a Swiss Type machine, on our DMG NLX2500 turning center. We were able to cut over 4 Minutes of machine time off EACH part using CoolSpeed. It has literally paid for itself within a week. Being able to spin the micro tool at the required 35,000 rpm vs. the max of the machine at 10,000 rpm has been a huge benefit to our operations.”
