    Today’s podcast is part one of a two-part interview with Dave Thuro, second-generation owner of Thuro Metal Products, a successful job shop in Long Island, New York. The business produces parts for a variety of industries, including aerospace, fuel injectors, HVAC, bearing and linear and, more recently, optics and lighting.

    Scroll down to listen to the podcast.

    We spoke to Dave about his equipment choices, focusing on Swiss automatics and multi-turret CNC lathes. We also discussed his father’s journey from Yugoslavia, living in an old army barracks in Munich, Germany, as a refugee following World War II. He became a master machinist in Germany, before immigrating to the United States at the age of 23 and finally starting a machine shop of his own.

    Question: Which piece of equipment in your shop is your favorite?

      CNCs are great, but NOTHING beats a good Ol’ Bridgeport!!!

      They are only limited by your imagination!

      It is like comparing artwork on a Chrome book versus classic oil on canvas.

      Perhaps it borders on skill versus art…
