This Shop Is Basically ALL Turning — And It’s Wildly Efficient | Progressive Turnings Shop Tour

Most shops we tour are a mix of mills, lathes, job-shop chaos, and whatever else they’ve had to make room for over the years. This one is different. We heads over to Progressive Turnings in Aurora, Illinois to meet up with Luke Niels — and the second you walk in, you know exactly what this place is built for: turning. Lots of turning. Swiss machines, fixed-headstock lathes, bar feeders dropping parts all day, form tooling, pinch milling, clever workarounds, and a layout that makes sense to anyone who’s ever tried to squeeze more output from the same four walls… Luke has thought through all of it. From 2,000-piece runs to 50,000-part orders, he shows Ian exactly how they keep machines cutting while keeping operators moving where they matter. We don't just get a tour. He gets the whole philosophy behind it — how Luke trains new machinists, why certain machines earn a permanent spot on the floor, what 2,000-piece “easy runs” look like here, and how they pull off 50,000-part jobs without burning the place down. What would you steal from Luke’s setup for your own shop? Let us know in the comments.
