what is the name of the machine that is used to cut and make custom wheels for car?

Question

I saw in many documentaries on customs car whereby they use this amazing machine to cut custom wheels for car and motorcycle. I'm wondering what is the name of this machine and how much it costs?

Answer 1

What you're looking for is a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) automatic milling machine. A new one will cost several hundred thousand dollars (US)



Here's more info on CNC machines from Wikipedia...

Answer 2

I found this manufacturing site for automotive hydraulic press and hot press machines. I don't know what you saw, but perhaps it is this.



If you remember the name or names of the documentaries you saw, also contact the producer of the documentary. At least they will know the names of the custom car businesses they featured. Those custom car manufacturers would be able to tell you who sold them those machines.



Good luck.
