Johnford vs. Other Brands

There are a number of key advantages when comparing the Johnford machinery with other manufacturers. The machines are more rigid than any others, due to the heavy casting poured in the company's own foundry, giving them the highest level of rigidity and durability.

Its reputation for reliability is backed by the long-standing association that Absolute Machine Tools has with Johnford, starting in 1992, with the representation, service, sale, and installation of more than 3,000 Johnford CNC machines throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world. Other distinguishing characteristics are the innovative torque tube design, a unique hole cast through the center of the slant bed, that gives superior rigidity and cooling capabilities, and the Meehanite iron construction, a high-quality casting material that is very durable and retains precision longer than other materials.
