Star One EDM Invests in New Equipment – Tsugami M08SY

Star One EDM, a machine shop specializing in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) since 1989, added a state-of-the-art lathe to their expanding group of hi-tech equipment. The Tsugami M08SY-II joined the over half a million dollars of machines the growing company already purchased this year. The new lathe, along with the recently purchased advanced wire EDM and vertical machining technology, brings another boost to the company’s turnaround time and machining capabilities.

The Tsugami M08SY-II is considered a high productivity and high rigidity turning machine that can perform complex machining such as drilling, turning, boring, CNC milling, and cross-drilling. It is ideal for intricate parts where speed and accuracy are essential. The built-in spindles minimize vibration without diminishing responsiveness. In addition, its small footprint makes it a perfect choice for machine shops like Star One.

General Manager, Dan Balawender noted, “The new Tsugami is the next step in our growth plan. We strive to be a one-stop-shop for our customers. Adding the capability to make complicated turned parts more quickly and efficiently moves us closer to that goal. Our customers know we have a wide range of machining expertise and use an array of up-to-date equipment. We look forward to showing them what the Tsugami can do.”
