Steelville, MO - Steelville owners knew that their manufacturing job shop would own an Okuma Multus someday from the first time they saw it operate. Now that they have installed one, John Bell, one of the owners of Steelville Mfg, is saying, "I see the future of machining in a shop like ours, doing small to medium sized components, only needing an Okuma Multus or MacTurn type lathe for turning. Anything else for turning will put you at a disadvantage."
