Flint Machine Tools to Distribute Nexturn Swiss-Type Lathes

Absolute Machine Tools distribution partner Flint Machine Tools Inc. will supply Nexturn Swiss-type lathes.

The Nexturn Swiss-type lathe line fits into Flint’s existing offerings of metalworking solutions and services for production machining, mold/die machining and production turning. According to regional manager Alex Churbock, it was an easy decision to adopt the Nexturn line because of the manufacturer’s support, quality, delivery and price.

The Nexturn Swiss-type line includes basic, guide-bushing-equipped centers (with maximum bar diameter capacities from 12-38 mm), removable guide-bushing centers (with maximum diameter bar capacities from 20-38 mm), nonguide-bushing centers (with maximum bar diameter capacities from 26-51 mm), and turret-style, nonguide-bushing sliding headstock centers for bars with 45, 56 and 67-mm-diameter bars. They range from the B Series, which work on seven axes with 22 tools, to the XIII and NST Series, both of which work on 11 axes and with three-channel programming.

Flint has sold Swiss-type machines for over 40 years. It’s been a distribution partner with Absolute Machine Tools in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia for over a decade. The company offers application engineering and service departments stocked with CNC centers that can be used for demos and training. It serves the aerospace, automotive, medical, agricultural and energy industries.

Flint and Absolute are looking forward to working together to supply Nexturn Swiss-type lathes to the Southeast region of the U.S.
