Axminster ZX30M Mill/Drill with Floor Stand & Power Feed

This is a rugged and well made machine with good capacities and plenty of power, a good choice for a serious home engineer, school D & T department or for a small professional workshop. The belt driven head provides a useful range of 12 speeds, 100-2080 rpm and is quiet in operation, the head can be re-positioned on the column with the aid of a handle driven rack and pinion drive; fine height control is achieved by a low geared control wheel, whilst the drilling downfeed is achieved with the three-arm control wheel on the right of the head. The fine downfeed control can be locked firmly in position when milling and the mill also features an easy-to-read inboard depth stop. End mill mounting can be either by individual finger collets, the ER collet system or the auto locking milling chuck, all of which are detailed under the Collets section. The table has 3 T slots to allow the mounting of work directly, or in a milling vice, and is positioned with two large diameter control wheels with metric calibrations for the horizontal axis. There are two moveable stops to control the traverse length of travel and the table can be locked into position in either axis. Supplied with a 13mm drill chuck and arbor, tools and interlocked chuck guard. The ZX30M can be mounted either on a solidly made bench (please note the weight of 270kg!) or on our custom made floor stand. This stand is made of heavy duty steel sheet and measures 795mm high, 580mm wide and 750mm deep. Another useful accessory is the power feed unit, Order No (700095), which can be fitted to the left hand end of the table to provide a smooth variable speed drive to the traverse travel. NB These mills are graduated METRIC only.
