It's becoming a lost art in many places. Not here, of course. 

Now more than ever, specialized capability in
manufacturing is hard to come by. Especially, capability
found in one of the most versatile, mainstay pieces of
equipment ever devised for the modern machine shop.

The horizontal boring mill.

At Foltz Machine, horizontal boring mill (HBM) expertise
is not only a tradition—it's a discipline we maintain in
everyday operations. Our horizontal boring mill machinists
are true craftsmen with the experience, equipment and
tooling needed for the most demanding applications. From long-length weldments to complex, heavy forgings or made-from-scratch machinery parts, our horizontal boring mills stand ready to tackle any difficult project.
