History
Our company’s first product line was hand operated turret lathes. These were eventually modified and the company gained international recognition for its bicycle hub and piston finishing lathes. Bardons & Oliver continued to grow and evolve with the industry, developing the first large capacity cut-off lathes for the pipe and tube industry. Contract work including special machinery of many kinds became a significant part of the company’s business in the 1950’s and continues to be an important market for Bardons & Oliver today. In the late 1960's Bardons & Oliver introduced automatic turret lathes that featured complete fluidic control of a standard machine tool for the first time in history. Special large capacity CNC turning machines were developed in the 1980's.
