J Banks & Co Ltd has always invested in modern machine tools and the latest addition is a new Hardinge Twin pallet machining centre. The machine was required due to expanding sales and this purchase greatly increases our productivity. This has enabled us to win new contracts due to our increased competitiveness and brings our VMC machine capacity to 5 machines, ranging from 450mm – 650mm bed size, and 7,000 – 15,000 rpm spindle speeds.
