SIEG Visit

 

The latest from Chris in China:

I had a good meeting with SIEG while I was in Shanghai. You can expect to see some interesting products over the next months.

They were working on some LittleMachineShop.com machines while I was there.

Here are some model 4200 lathes in final assembly. He’s test driving them to ensure everything operates properly.

And yes, they really do check each LittleMachineShop.com machine to ensure it meets specifications.

Here are a couple of pallets off mini lathe beds ready for final grinding. I noticed them unloading a truckload of these as I was arriving.

SIEG does the critical machining in their own shop. He’s setting up to grind the bed ways for a mini lathe.

They are assembling electrical sub-assemblies such as control boxes.
