HFW's latest investment to better serve our customers.
By Jack Watson
We are thrilled to unveil the latest addition to our facility, a CNC cylindrical grinder.
This machine is the first to be CNC-equipped in our grinding department. Built to handle a variety of turbine shafts and other mid-size cylindrical equipment, these new capabilities will have tangible benefits for you as our customer. What you can expect:
- This machine further enhances our ability to finish parts to tight tolerances and fine surface finishes.
- Our grinder will help increase throughput, which will help to increase capacity and reduce lead time for your parts.
- The addition of a new grinder will free other machines to be dedicated to other lines of work, particularly sleeves and similar shaft work. This will in turn improve lead time in other areas of the shop.
- We anticipate purchasing additional CNC finishing equipment in the future.
A lot has changed in the 75 years HFW Industries has been in business. One thing that has remained constant is our continuing investment in our people, equipment and capabilities to better serve you.
Our recent purchase of this new CNC grinder is the latest example of that.

- 16" swing
