This is fascinating really interesting to see how these are built first hand. My father-in-law is one of the only companies still building speed lathes and it's basically the same lathe they have built since 1937.
I'm pretty sure their customers range from SpaceX to Pharma co's and they are just a small shop in midwest PA.

I wonder in what kinds of work that comes up often enough to justify dedicated machines?
