Cameras have NEVER been allowed behind these doors, but you're not going to believe the amount of automation and production that happens in here!

In a world first, @sandvikcoromant has invited Ian Sandusky from Lakewood Machine & Tool and the Practical Machinist team into the hallowed halls of their Mebane, North Carolina production facility. This is where they take raw forgings and machine them into the extremely precise and durable tooling you expect from Sandvik Coromant. Grinding, milling, turning, black oxide and more – it's all happening here in Mebane! With a massive production floor with ground-breaking automation solutions in play, come with us as we get to see where your favorite tools take shape.
