In this episode of View From My Shop, Modern Machine Shop takes a tour of KCS Advanced Machining, a machine shop in Livonia, Michigan, that decided to invest completely in five-axis machining centers. Executive editor Brent Donaldson previously covered KCS in January 2022 with a story about how reinvestment in automation helped this young staff continue to grow the shop and find success. Check out that story here.
The View From My Shop is a companion series to our long-running “The View From My Shop” column. The series explores the world of modern machining, delivering an inside look at how shops large and small make parts — and how their people see the industry. Viewers learn from shop owners, machinists and engineers about the technologies, people and processes that keep today’s shops successful.
