Spindles running at more than 50,000 revolutions a minute.. the turning and drilling of 2.30mm thick stainless steel alloy blanks resulting in a spew of fine metal powder....a 0.40mm diameter tungsten carbide ball being embedded in a nickel silver housing.....a conscientious worker examining the housing of a typical tip magnified 100 times on a high-powered stereo microscope....this would be just a typical day at essem's factory.
