This small general-purpose Excel Multi-mill can be used for small engineering and component-machining projects. It has an operating bed of 350 x 200 mm with a Z height of 120 mm (approximate dimensions depending on tooling). It can be operated using eight-speed selection gears. It has an angled head and a T-section machined bed for bolting work to bed. There is a small range of end mills and boring tools. The Multi-mill can be used for making accurate engineering components, bespoke mechanical repairs, threading, boring and profile cutting, steels, brass, aluminium, cast-iron and other metals. Plastics, nylon and acrylics can also be cut and profiled. It can be used in conjunction with the Colchester Student.
