Best Machine for Machining Housings & Manifolds

Housings, manifolds and valve bodies are multi-sided prismatic parts with bores and threaded ports on several faces — ideal for a 4th-axis VMC or, in volume, an HMC with a pallet changer that works all sides in fewer setups. Concentric bores and true positions reward rigidity and probing.

Volume pushes you horizontal; mixed work stays on a 4-axis VMC. Value both at The Machine Blue Book.
