Millennium Machine & Tool (MMT), Inc., Newton, Kansas, has recently installed a CITIZEN Cincom M32-4M8 sliding headstock CNC lathe. The company, which is a fullservice machine shop, started in 1998 in an 1800-sq.-ft. building. Today, the company operates with 43 employees working two shifts in a 38,000-sq.-ft. facility in Newton (just north of Wichita). Plans are underway for another expansion to the facility.
The CITIZEN, purchased from McClain Tool & Technology, was needed to increase the company’s capacity and efficiency. It features 3-tool simultaneous machining capabilities, 32-mm diameter capacity, 8,000-rpm dual spindles and a 12’ magazine barloader. This brings MMT’s CNC machine tool count up to 35. These include 6 CNC lathes, 22 CNC vertical mills, 5 horizontal machining centers and 2 CNC
Citizen Swiss turns. “We have been very happy with our 2nd CITIZEN,” stated Kris Wondra, co-owner and founder. “It has gone beyond our expectations in reducing cycle times for complex and complete parts. The service from McClain’s crew has been excellent.” MMT works with most metals and plastics and can handle everything from prototypes to large runs. “We work hard to deliver quality work, on time and at a good price,” commented Nick Messer, director of sales and marketing. “We are very flexible and can implement changes quickly.” MMT serves numerous industries in Mid-America including: motorcycle; automotive; agriculture; aerospace; recreation; racing; and firearms.
