Mill/Drill Machines

A mill/drill machine brings milling and drilling to your bench in one compact, affordable package — the practical choice for machinists, gunsmiths, and home shops that need real metalworking capability without a full-size knee mill. Face, slot, bore, and drill steel and aluminum with the rigidity and precision to hold tolerances.

Why a Mill/Drill

Mill/drill machines combine a milling head with a drill press in a benchtop footprint, giving you two capabilities in the space of one. With an R8 spindle, variable speed, and available DRO, they handle real machining jobs — tooling, fixtures, and precision parts — at a fraction of the size and cost of a full mill.

Specs That Matter

• Spindle taper: An R8 spindle accepts a wide range of common, affordable tooling.
• Travel: X, Y, and Z travel set the size of part you can machine.
• Variable speed & DRO: Brushless variable speed and a digital readout make precise, repeatable cuts easy.
• Rigidity: A heavier column and table mean cleaner cuts and better finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a mill/drill and a milling machine?

A mill/drill is a compact benchtop machine combining milling and drilling; a full milling machine like a knee mill is larger, more rigid, and built for heavier production work.

What can I make on a mill/drill?

Tooling, fixtures, brackets, and precision parts — facing, slotting, boring, and drilling steel and aluminum within the machine's travel.

Is a DRO worth it on a mill/drill?

Yes — a digital readout shows exact table position for accurate, repeatable moves and far less scrap. It's one of the best upgrades for precision.
