Circle 91 on card Mitchell Inc. offers over 30 years of experience manufacturing specialty machines designed to cut or trim round or cylindrical parts from rubber, some plastic and composites. Mitchell's line of equipment consists of several standard models of two basic types of machines - lathe lathe (lāth), machine tool for holding and turning metal, wood, plastic, or other material against a cutting tool to form a cylindrical product or part. It also drills, bores, polishes, grinds, makes threads, and performs other operations. cutters and knife trimmers. Mitchell also designs and builds custom machines for a variety of cutting or trimming applications. Mitchell's machines are based on the principle of high speed rotation and the constant advance of a sharp cutting blade. This makes repeated minimal cuts in the same track and enables them to cut accurately, without distortion by blade pressure. These machines will cut as fast as the material will allow.

Mitchell lathe cutters will generally produce up to 240 parts per minute, depending upon size, complexity and the material used. Mitchell offers six standard knife trimmers, sometimes called deflashers, to trim flash from round or circular molded parts. Parts are precisely positioned on a rotating spindle spindle: see spinning. A rotating shaft in a disk drive. In a fixed disk, the platters are attached to the spindle.
