    Large, Deep Hole Boring Capacity Widened to 200mm Drill Diameter

    Last month Engineering Capacity reported that TBT UK Ltd, Birmingham, had taken delivery of (probably) the largest subcontract deep hole drilling machine (DHD) available for subcontract work in Europe. This month an additional large deep hole boring machine was delivered, which extends TBT UK's capabilities to: 0.9mm minimum drill diameter; 200mm maximum drill diameter; 5m maximum drill depth; and 25t maximum work piece weight. 

    Heavy Press Braking Capacity Increased With Specialist Skills Training

    Angle Ring has recently taken on and qualified more operatives for its range of heavy press-braking machinery. Paul Middleton commented: "The machines are a tremendous asset to our section and plate bending capacity, but skilled operators for these sizes of machine are difficult to come by, we are proud to have some of the best operators working for us, and continue to develop internal staff to allow us to cover the increased demand we have seen recently."
