Samurai Machine Tools

The Way of Samurai



Samurai has not returned to do things the traditional way. We imagine the world 100 years in the future and bring that technology to now.

The machine tool industry needs a spark of innovation

Since the birth of CNC machines in 1950 to today, innovation followed the typical S curve

Samurai technology began primitively and rapidly evolved into something that exceeds the current State of the Art

Samurai Steel™

Samurai Steel™

Our machines are built upon a fundamentally superior frame material to Cast Iron or Epoxy Granite.


The Patent pending Samurai Steel® is the closest machine tool frame material to the theoretically perfect machine frame (one with infinite stiffness) while maintaining high damping, thermal stability and low cost.


Compared with the relatively simple Cast Iron graphite flake structure, Samurai Steel® is a highly engineered material, providing true breakthrough machining benefits such as significantly increased material removal rates, tool life and reduction in machine size.
