3.   All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in
     consolidation.

4.   Effective July 1, 1995, the Company acquired certain assets
     of Hurth Maschinen und Werkzeuge GmbH for approximately
     $10.5 million in cash.  The Company will account for the
     acquisition under the purchase accounting method.  The
     impact of this transaction is not reflected in this report
     on Form 10-Q.

5.   The components of inventories were as follows:

     (In thousands)            6/30/95       12/31/94

     Raw materials and
       purchased parts        $  2,734       $  1,405
     Work in process            13,583          6,955

6.   The land and building of the Company's former Alliance Metal
     Stamping and Fabricating division remains classified as net
     assets of discontinued operations as the Company is
     continuing to seek a buyer for this real estate.

7.   Net cash payments (refunds) for income taxes were $3,113,000
     and ($2,447,000) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
     1994, respectively.  Interest payments were $102,000 and
     $269,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following are management's comments relating to significant
changes in the results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and in the Company's
financial condition during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Results of Operations

The Company had income from continuing operations for the second
quarter ended June 30, 1995 of $3,643,000, or $.70 per share,
compared to $603,000, or $.12 per share, for the 1994 second
quarter.  Net income for the second quarter of 1994 of $2,043,000,
or $.40 per share, included an after-tax gain of $1,440,000, or
$.28 per share from discontinued operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had income
from continuing operations of $6,556,000, or $1.27 per share,
compared to $668,000, or $.13 per share, in the 1994 first half.

Orders levels during the first six months of 1995 were $101.2
million, a 51 percent increase compared to the 1994 period.
Orders for machine and tooling product lines increased 77 percent
and 28 percent, respectively over the prior year.  The increase
in machine orders is attributable to the improved business
outlook for most vehicle producers worldwide and the favorable
acceptance of the Company's new machine products.  Order activity
from overseas markets improved significantly during the second
quarter of 1995 with over 70 percent of the backlog for machine
products at June 30, 1995 consisting of orders from foreign
customers.  Backlog as of June 30, 1995 increased to $83.4
million from $54.7 million at December 31, 1994.  Backlog at June
30, 1994 was $42.0 million.

Net sales were $40,604,000 and $72,505,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995, increases of 47 percent and 41
percent over the comparable 1994 periods. Higher shipment levels
to customers in North/South America accounted for approximately
66 percent of the year over year increase for the six month
period, with sales into the Asia/Pacific and Europe/Africa
regions also showing improvement.   Shipments of gear production
machines were 60 percent higher during the six month period with
increases in both bevel and parallel axis gear machine product
lines.  Sales of parallel axis gear production machines accounted
for 41 percent of 1995 first half machine sales.

Tooling sales increased 32 percent in the first half of 1995
compared to the first half of 1994 primarily due to the higher
shipments of bevel gear cutting tools.  Sales of other products,
including spare parts, service, customer training, software and
application support,  increased 12 percent in the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to the 1994 period.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales were 70.0 percent
and 68.7 percent for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1995 compared to 73.2 percent and 74.1 percent for the
comparable 1994 periods. The lower cost of sales percentage is
primarily due to improved gross margins on machine products
partially offset by a higher percentage of machines in the sales
mix.  Machine margins benefited from higher production volumes
through the Company's new factory and improved production
efficiencies for many of the new machine models introduced in
1993 and 1994  which are now in full production and being
manufactured at much lower costs than in the prior year.  Tooling
margins also improved due to the operating leverage created by
higher production volumes.  Margins in the remaining two quarters
are expected to be somewhat lower than the first half of 1995 due
to a higher percentage of machines in the overall sales mix.
Margins on machines, in general, are lower than for tooling
products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$6,935,000, or 17.1 percent of sales, and $12,921,000, or 17.8
percent of sales, for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1995. The comparable 1994 periods were $5,571,000, or 20.2
percent of sales, and $10,532,000, or 20.5 percent of sales. The
decrease as a percentage of sales is attributable to the higher
sales volumes.  Spending within the Company's worldwide sales and
service offices increased compared to the 1994 period due to the
establishment of greater direct sales representation in Europe and higher
business activity levels. Commissions paid to outside dealers, as
a percentage of sales, were relatively constant year over year.

Research and development expenses were $1,279,000 and $2,698,000
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, compared
to $1,217,000 and $2,289,000 in the three and six month periods
ending June 30, 1994.  1995 full year development spending is
planned to increase compared to 1994 levels with major projects
including a modernization program for the Company's tooling
products and a new CNC gear testing machine.

In the first half of 1995 the Company recorded a tax provision
for continuing operations of $1,034,000, or an effective tax
rate of 13.6 percent.  The comparable 1994 period had an
effective tax rate of 28.0 percent.  The 1995 tax provision
consisted primarily of foreign and domestic state taxes.  The
U.S. federal current income tax provision was offset by a
deferred tax benefit resulting in an increase to the domestic
deferred tax asset to approximately $4.5 million at June 30,
1995. Under the provisions of FAS No. 109, the Company has been
limited in the amount of the deferred tax asset it has been able
to record based on future income.  Management has determined that
it is more likely than not future income will be sufficient to
fully realize the deferred asset recorded at June 30, 1995.  As
future domestic income is generated, additional deferred tax
benefits can be recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $725,000 in the first six
months of 1995 to $2,448,000 at June 30, 1995. Borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit agreements increased to $3,574,000
at June 30, 1995 from $2,135,000 at December 31, 1994.  Unused
credit lines with banks, including revolving credit facilities,
totaled  $25.9 million at June 30, 1995.  The Company anticipates
borrowings under its available credit facilities to increase in
the second half of 1995 due to the purchase and working capital
requirements of Hurth Maschinen und Werkzeuge GmbH and planned
capital spending programs.  Dividend payments to stockholders
totaled $1,292,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $254,000 in the
1995 first half compared to $5,379,000 in the comparable 1994
period.  Operating cash flows were lower in 1995 due to higher
working capital requirements and net income tax payments.  The
higher working capital was attributable to higher inventory
levels and deposits with vendors due to the increased business
volumes. Payments for income taxes totaled $3,113,000 in the 1995
first half versus net income tax refunds of $2,447,000 in the
1994 period. Higher earnings and reductions in trade accounts
receivable contributed favorably to operating cash flows.

Investing activities used $2,773,000 of cash in the 1995 six
month period versus cash provided by investing activities of
$2,743,000 in the comparable prior year period.  Proceeds from
collections of notes receivable associated with the sales of
former businesses totaled $97,000 ($3,190,000 in 1994).  Capital
expenditures totaled $2,904,000 in the six months of 1995
compared to $1,117,000 in the first half of 1994.  The Company
expects full year capital spending levels in 1995 to
approximately equal its depreciation expense.

The Company's cash balances, presently available lines of credit,
and anticipated funds from operations should be sufficient to
meet its near-term operating and investing activities.
Management believes it will be able to obtain additional long-
term financing if such financing is required.
