time again!
The International Manufacturing Technology Show
(IMTS) is now just months away. Taking place once again at the McCormick Place in

new and most popular machine models. Be sure to make your reservations as soon as

A Miyano That Cuts Like a
Citizen!
Miyano has recently introduced the new BNX-42SY, which incorporates into its development the best
of both the Miyano and Citizen worlds. This 42mm rigid and precise machine is integrated with a
Citizen Mitsubishi M70 control. The BNX-42SY is equipped with 2 spindles and one 12-position (all
live capable) turret that has the productivity equivalent of a machine with 2 spindles and 2
turrets.
 This revolutionary entry into the fixed headstock market features
overlapping control, which synchronizes sub-spindle movement with the turret during machining
on the main chuck. This allows for simultaneous machining of workpieces on both spindles from
the turret. See Miyano BNX-42SY brochure for more
information.
Owner/VP Adam Gent (left) and operator extraordinaire, Doug Holt, of Gent Machine Company are ready to apply their 80+ year history of high
precision machining excellence to your production requirement. Gent Machine is committed to
providing a low cost, high value solution to your precision machining requirements. Gent
recently passed their ISO 9001:2008 ISO/TS 16949:2009 certification, further exemplifying their
dedication to quality. Read More ....
