The Magnificent Mile is a bustling commercial district downtown that includes the Chicago Water Tower — a machining marvel. You can visit the iconic Cloud Gate public sculpture, aka The Bean, in Millennium Park, or the nearby Art Institute of Chicago — home to some of the world’s most recognizable artwork. And if you appreciate artistry, you’ll also recognize the fine craftsmanship of hand scraping, which is an exclusive, meticulous practice that goes into each mating surface on every Okuma CNC machine.
