The Valley Loves Mazatrol! |

Valley Machining
was founded in 1995 after Precision
Techno logies,
Inc. closed it’s doors. The three
partners in Valley Machining had put in some 20+ years each at Precision Technologies. Once Bob
Miller, Roger Stakey and John Dahlstrom had a chance to analyze their situation they
recognized their strength together and decided to leverage their extensive experience and
solid reputation. They created Valley Machining, a job shop cutting anything that comes in
the door. However, the jobs have been leaning toward their special niche – exotic
metals, such as titanium, waspaloy and udimet.Valley Machining’s first CNC purchase was a Mazak M-4 Turning Center. Since then they have purchased four |
more Mazak’s - a mixture of both milling
and turning equipment. Why Mazak? According to John, "I have worked with other
programming formats before, but I prefer Mazatrol programming." John likes to program
on the shop floor, Mazatrol makes this easy for him. Second, set-up is greatly reduced
compared to other systems. Third, troubleshooting is very easy. John states that,
"Mazak machines are easy-to-use and allow Valley Machining to turn around quality
parts quickly."
