Looks like a pretty old school operation. Some cnc, but mostly manual machines for large machine parts. Service work for a steel mill? We have had a lot of auctions in Michigan. Back in 04, a friend of mine bought 3 very nice Bridgeports for $1300! A lot of stuff went from being very nice machines to scrap very quickly. Productivity is important, and companies can't run machines for decades like they used too.
