Anything that is
highly regarded is so because of the blend of features that add up
to something better than any of its competitors. The Axminster SIEG C2A 300mm Mini Lathe is unmatched by any other machine in its size
and price range. SIEG are a large company in Shanghai, China who
have a comprehensive range of small to medium lathes and mills entirely
of their own design and we at Axminster are proud to have a large range of SIEG's products in our portfolio.
The C2A has caught
the imagination of large numbers of model engineers, prototype designers
and hobbyists since we introduced it in 2007, offering that blend
of accuracy, size, convenience and price that attracts attention
wherever it is seen. With the range of accessories available to complement the machine, plus the standard features we have included, the C2A
offers a near complete package to allow your ambitions to grow as
your confidence and abilities grow with experience. I say "near complete" because
in the USA where this machine has a huge following there is a wealth
of knowledge and experience of this machine. If you Google "mini
lathe" you will come across a mass of sites and communities devoted to this machine and other variants. There is also a small but growing UK web community devoted to these marvellous little lathes offering help and advice in English you can understand!

One thing
that has happened over recent years is the recognition by SIEG of
the quality standards expected by European customers, rather than
the "got to be the
cheapest price" culture of our USA cousins. The standard of fit
and finish out of the box is now of a very high standard indeed. Coupled
with in-house production of the electronics by SIEG, the reliability
factor is also top notch.

So if
you are looking for that special small lathe, one that you will appreciate
for years to come, improve if you wish, stamp your own mark as an
engineer on the machine, then the SIEG C2A Mini Lathe will fill that special place in your workshop.
