Time and Space Slashed at Powers

But even they were wowed by the Weeke BHX 050—a compact, all-in-one machining center that drills, grooves, and routes. It’s so versatile that they’re still uncovering new ways to save time and money. One example? Instead of nesting thousands of parts, one at a time, Powers can now stack-cut them on their Holzma saw and stack route them on the BHX 050—five at a time. Perfectly. 97% faster than before. And in a fraction of the footprint. It’s the most productive machine they’ve ever purchased, according to folks at the Bolingbrook, Illinois-based company.
