Forest City Gear Expands Turning and Milling Capabilities
April 1, 2026
Forest City Gear, a manufacturer of fine- and medium-pitch custom gears, has announce the purchase of a DMG MORI CTX Beta 450 TC, a significant investment that marks a major step forward in the company's turning and milling capabilities.
The addition of the CTX Beta 450 TC brings advanced multitasking flexibility to Forest City Gear's shop floor, allowing multiple machining operations to be combined into a single set-up. For complex part configurations, this consolidation reduces the need for multiple set-ups and separate inspections. That means fewer handoffs and tighter tolerances.
"This machine gives us the ability to do more in one place," said Jared Lyford, Director of Operations at Forest City Gear. "By combining turning, milling, and gear operations, we can streamline processes that previously required multiple machines, without sacrificing precision."
The CTX Beta 450 TC is also equipped with the full suite of DMG MORI gear software, including skiving capability. This further expands Forest City Gear's ability to consolidate operations, opening the door to more efficient production of complex gear geometries and tighter control over critical features.
