    Solutions Based on Quality and Endurance

    Your investment in machinery is large. You count on your equipment to last. And today, as machine tool technology continues to advance, the need for durable quality remains the same.

    Since 1891, Bardons & Oliver has designed and built quality lathes and set industry standards for reliability, dependability and rugged performance. Our machines are heavier and offer greater flexibility in automatic part loading, unloading and tooling than any other cutoff machines on the market today. They are USA built.

    We create custom engineered solutions for your unique applications—and our skilled employee-owners are dedicated to total customer satisfaction. We’ve designed special machine configurations, including two machines arranged face-to-face for machining of boiler tubes—to a single machine designed to cut off, burnish and face motor housings. Each application required unique part machining and handling.

     

    Automatic Cutoff Lathes for Tube and Bar Stock

    automatic cutoff lathes for tube and bar stockFor more the 100 years, Bardons & Oliver has produced auto cutoff lathes (ACLs) for tube processing and bar processing into finished or semi-finished parts. Along with cutoff, our ACLs can perform end finishing work such as chamfer, form and groove with servo-controlled slides. With capacities from 0.5" to 8”, the #32, #34 and #36 ACLs produce typical parts, including axles, drive shafts, bushings, pins and spacers. Secondary processes can be integrated for increased product capability. Heavy-duty construction, quality and expertise with automatic part loading and unloading make Bardons & Oliver tube & bar cutting lathes the best solution to maximize your parts-making capabilities. Our cutoff lathes offer:

    • Automatic cut part support and discharge from tool area
    • Multiple operations performed in one setup
    • Maximum productivity
