Rotary Milling Machine

A traditional, 3-axis milling machine can cost several hundred dollars or more. The milling machine you see here uses a rotary tool to power the tool bit. The precision comes from two sliding tables that move the workpiece in the X (left-right) and Y (front-back) directions. A platform moves the tool up or down in the Z direction. This milling machine is a handy tool to have in the workshop and the perfect solution for machining in miniature.
