Design and machine small parts for rapid prototyping. Similar in size to a desktop printer, these CNC machines mill plastic, wood, copper, aluminum, and other soft metals up to 8" × 8" × 3". Compared to manual milling machines, they are faster, more consistent, and able to create more complex shapes; however, they are not for production-scale work. Use them for milling contoured 3D objects, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and small parts such as gears, retaining rings, and shims. They are compatible with 2D and 3D CAD files and include software for creating 2D designs from scratch, no experience required.

Machines move on three axes: the spindle travels 8" side to side and 3" up and down; the table travels 8" front to back. They have a 130W brushless DC motor that powers the spindle up to 24,000 rpm with 0.0001" of TIR (total indicated runout). TIR is a measure of rotational smoothness—the lower the value, the less wobble a rotating tool will have, and the more accurate it will be.

All include one square end mill for making square slots, pockets, and edges and one ball end mill for making rounded slots, slopes, and contours. A tool length measurement device ensures accurate cuts, even when switching tools. A 1/2" MDF wasteboard protects the end mill from damage, similar in principle to a kitchen cutting board. The built-in enclosure contains chips and reduces noise.

Machines also include a 1/8" ER-11 collet for holding round-shank tools, such as router bits, drill bits, and end mills, with shank sizes from 0.109" to 1/8". Use additional ER-11 collets to hold tools that have larger shank sizes.

Flip jigs attach to the table and hold the workpiece in place to save time and prevent mistakes when machining both sides of the workpiece. When one side is done, turn the jig over and the other side is already in place, no edge-finders or recalibration needed.

Fixture plates have an array of M6 × 1 mm threaded holes to support various clamps and workholding setups. Attach the fixture plate to the machine’s table using the included fasteners.

Vises firmly hold the workpiece for precise machining. They are sized to fit the machine’s table; attach with the included fasteners.

Plug these power feeds into standard outlets to convert a milling machine from manual feed to motorized power. Speed is variable so you can make adjustments for material, cutter, and coolant. Install on the X (left/right) or the Y (in/out) motion axis. Feed fits below the table surface for unobstructed workpiece mounting, and a limit switch prevents damage caused by over-travel. Single-lever control engages and disengages as well as starts and stops feeds.

Mounting kits allow you to mount the feed to your milling machine. Mounting kits for electric milling machines replace existing Bridgeport electronic-controlled power table feeds.

Turn the dial on this drill press while it is running to get the optimum speed for your job. A laser projects a crosshair at the point of bit contact and a digital readout displays the spindle speed.

Select from a number of speeds by repositioning the drive belt before starting the drill press.

To accommodate large, odd-shaped pieces of material, the head of this drill press moves 12" forward and backward. It also tilts 45° left and 90° right (as viewed when facing the drill press).

The weight and rigidity of these presses prevent vibration so you can maintain close tolerances for high-quality metal drilling. Turn the dial on these drill presses while they are running to get the optimum speed for your job.

Drill presses with 20" max. workpiece diameter have a safety guard that swings away for easy tool changes.

Switch these drills from forward to reverse without stopping—ideal for both drilling and tapping applications (not recommended for use with pipe taps). In addition, a dial lets you adjust the speed to match your application, making these great for drilling hard materials at slow speeds. Base attaches to flat ferrous surfaces (such as steel and cast iron). Holding force (also called drill point breakaway) is calculated against a 1" thick steel plate. Drills include a spoked feed handle that mounts on either side.

Drill presses for 3/4" and 1 1/4" max. drill bit sizes can be used with carbide-tipped hollow-core cutters.

Drill press for 1/2" max. drill bit size cannot be used with hollow-core cutters. It is not for use with 5/8"-11 and 1/2"-13 taps.

Note: To avoid damaging the electromagnet, do not mount press to a base that has a welder already grounded to it.

Lock the magnet to secure the base and then move the motor to center the cutter for pinpoint accuracy. You can move the motor 3/4" forward and backward and tilt it 20° left and right.

Use for drilling small holes. A sensitive belt-drive motor reduces drill breakage and damage.

Drill presses that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local energy efficiency regulations.

These drills work with hollow-core cutters to cut only on the periphery of the hole and produce a solid slug. This allows for a faster and easier cut than drilling with standard drill bits. Also known as magnetic core drilling machines.

They have a feed handle that mounts on the left or right side of the drill. The electromagnetic base attaches to flat ferrous surfaces (such as steel and cast iron). Holding force (also called drill-point breakaway) is calculated against a 1" thick steel plate.

Chucks and adapters (sold separately) allow these models to accept standard drill bits.

With hardened rollers and precision-machined gears, these rolling mills stand up to heavy use. They’re often used to compress sheets to an uncommon gauge size, convert scrap metal into sheets or wire, or create different thicknesses in a single piece of metal without welding multiple pieces together. After several passes through the mill, you may need to anneal your metal to soften it and prevent cracking.

Manual mills are gear driven, making them easier to turn than direct-drive rolling mills. Their rollers have grooves so you can form square and half-round wire in addition to sheets.

Electric mills do not require hand cranking, so they provide the power you need to complete high volumes of work. They have flat rollers for creating uniform sheets.

Gear speed ratio indicates the force it takes to turn the output gear. For instance, the manual rolling mill has a 4:1 gear ratio, meaning that you rotate the handle four times to turn the gear powering the rollers once.
