Hillary Machinery supplies Fives Giddings & Lewis machine tools for large-part, heavy-duty machining applications requiring substantial workpiece capacity, rigidity and precision. The lineup includes horizontal boring mills, machining centers and vertical turning systems designed for demanding industrial production.
Giddings & Lewis horizontal boring mills are designed for machining large and complex workpieces that require heavy cutting, boring, drilling, milling and multi-face machining capability. Table-type and palletized configurations support applications where workpiece size, weight and setup efficiency are critical.

Fives Giddings & Lewis machines are particularly well suited for aerospace, energy, oil and gas, defense, heavy equipment and other industries machining large castings, forgings, housings, valves, structural components and other substantial workpieces.
Hillary Machinery helps manufacturers evaluate workpiece dimensions, weight, material, required machining operations, spindle requirements, table capacity, tooling and production needs to determine the appropriate Fives Giddings & Lewis machine configuration. Our team also provides applications assistance, installation, service and parts support.
Horizontal boring mills are particularly effective when large workpieces require machining on multiple faces or when conventional machining-center work envelopes are insufficient.
Fives Giddings & Lewis horizontal boring and machining centers can support operations including:
Fives Giddings & Lewis MC-Series machines add pallet-changing and machining-center functionality to traditional horizontal boring mill capability. Pallet systems can allow operators to load and unload workpieces while machining continues, reducing non-cutting time in suitable production applications.
Vertical turning is particularly effective for workpieces that are large in diameter relative to their height or too heavy to support efficiently on a conventional horizontal lathe.
The vertical machine configuration allows the workpiece to rest naturally on the chuck or table while turning, boring and other machining operations are performed from above or from the side.
Large-part machine selection should begin with the workpiece and required process. Important factors include:
Fives Giddings & Lewis manufactures heavy-duty machine tools including horizontal boring mills, horizontal machining systems and vertical turning machines for large-part and precision industrial machining.
A horizontal boring mill is a CNC machine tool designed to perform boring, milling, drilling, tapping and related operations with a horizontally oriented spindle. These machines are commonly used for large or heavy workpieces.
