The end finishing is near. (Cutting Tool Talk).

Over the years, end-working technology has undergone steady and continuous development. Today's machine is capable of performing complex functions that were unheard of Not heard of; of which there are no tidings.

Basically, end finishing machines face and center shaft ends, a simple yet often overlooked procedure critical to successfully finishing a wide range and complexity of parts. In fact, holding the final part's squareness, roundness and runout run·out

 tolerances often depends entirely on the success of the initial face and centering phase of the machining operation.

Also, eliminating secondary operations by combining them with initial end finishing can result in significant cost savings, which can be passed on to customers.

Seneca Falls Technology uses a unique building block concept to manufacture its top-of-the-line EW Series machines. The concept lets customers choose their own specific machine configuration, producing machines with single, opposed heads for plunge or spot facing and center drilling, multiple head machines combining milling with drilling, or units equipped with feedout heads for contour turning and similar functions.

. The EW100 is similar to the EW75 except it has two two-axis headstocks, each with a cross-milling spindle and one or two drilling spindles or tapping spindles. The EW100V is a vertical with a single headstock and a two-axis headstock. Note: the maximum number of spindles per headstock is three. It should also be noted that it's not necessary to have the same number of spindles at each end.
