Wet milling in all it's glory!






WET MILLING e.Max




To go with our video clip, here is a neat little article from IDT  about milling machines.  It explains a few basic workings and some comparative details - including wet versus dry.

 At Drake, we do both - different options for different configurations, different materials, and different outcomes.
